remembering that i was 14

the stars never ended
they went on and on,
sparkling forward, outward
into unknown. 
feeling guilty backwards
into faded hours
didn’t make sense. 
big moments were too brief 
to hold onto regrets. 
nothing unfinished
at least nothing ain’t yet. 
bucket lists couldn’t exist
we filled them too fast. 
jumping and tripping
without being asked. 
love was feral and kept
its safe distance
still with hearts 
on our sleeves
we fought everything
including resistance.
