Describe an item you were incredibly attached to as a youth. What became of it?
The blue heart ring
Reminds me of days
When we were carefree and young
With junk on our fingers
And love in our hearts
When days started
With a morning greeting friends
The sun it rose
As we head to the college for a day
The classroom was filled
With things to learn
But also of laughter, dangling earrings and falling in love
The blue heart ring was on me all the time
And it reminded me of the deepest crush I ever had
Deep as the ocean the blue heart ring
Kept me attached to the joy he did bring
It’s metal I twisted once
Desperate to see the boy
The ring then forever was kept aside
Mangled it was for the love it never found
But sits as a reminder still
Of free spirited college days
Singing with friends
Playing pranks
Smiling always
The morning light gracing our classrooms
Lighting up our days
Not knowing where we were heading to
What mattered was having a pal sit by my side
The blue heart ring
A memory of
When a piece of junk, friends and freedom
Was enough to lead the way
