Happy Times

A melody that is music to many people's ears also known as laughter can be heard here

Deep in my mind nostalgia overcomes me and I think back to how your lips puckered and you had your tongue stuck out

Your eyes crossed, your eyebrows scrunched

I remember your's and my own smiles of when we would find the other

And force the other out of their hiding spot

I remember the way the red, orange, yellow and brown leaves would elegantly float down

Only to be chased after when they were low enough to reach

After chasing and chasing they would be raked up into piles

Only for them to be a new hiding spot

Whenever the crunch, crunch, crunching made by my little feet can be heard

You would pounce from the pile as we play our little game of cat and mouse

Like we always did

I remember when our faces would light up as my mother would put us both in the sudsy, bubbly water

Giggling as we would play pretend and I pretend to be a marine biologist and you a merman

I remember being wrapped up in warmth as we cuddled in cotton blankets

Our limbs entangled with one another's

Moments like these I will chairish forever
