Goodbye Innocence

goodbye innocence
my old friend
once you were part of me
like freckles
ponytails
and scabbed knees
we were free to roam
holding hands
through the streets
fields
valleys
and around creeks
we flew in our dreams
felt the cool air on our faces
and butterflies in our tummies
sky diving and ascending
until we were told
people can't fly
goodbye innocence,
Mary Smith

Author Notes
"Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened" - Dr. Seuss'
The name is fictional but the story is based on my own life experiences. When I was little, I had dreams about flying that felt real. The sensations were similar to riding a rollercoaster but I had never ridden one at that age. I remember feeling the wind on my face, being suspended in mid-air, and falling. I can't remember when the dreams stopped.
