going back

i remember those summer days
filled with swimming and laughter and picnics in the park
the days of sleepovers and homemade cookies
of sunblock and crowded birthday parties
everyone laughing and talking at once
(and not minding at all).

sometimes i miss those days
and i think of how ridiculous an adult would look
if they spun circles out on the grass til they dropped
but who says you cant?
people reminisce "oh to be a child again,"
but i suppose there's a part of me
that will never quite grow out of those days
and as silly as it may be,
i dont care.
