“Maybe that dude from Portuguese class was right
And we really live two lives. 

One is the epitome of innocence and purity,
Where you feel things to the core 
And don’t rationalize everything. 

And the other one 
Is like a punch in the throat,
Everyone becomes completely insane
And obsessed with the act of thinking.
We end up closed in a box, 
Because we have to be useful to society or something...

Plus, the memories you had 
From that first life 
Start to kinda like evaporate.

Perhaps it is the greater grief,
After all, to see the kid that you once were
Disappearing inside you
And not being able to do anything about it.”

The memories the laughs
