Darkness

Standing in the streets, 
The darkness of the city lights 
Washes over you. 

The joy of the summer fades, 
The sorrow of the fall is a current feeling. 
Yet deep in your heart you know it changes. 

How do the days go by this fast? 
The years drift by like seconds,
You haven't heard his voice in years. 
But you still remember it. 

Hold all of your greatest memories in your heart, 
With your sorrows and strengths. 

And at the end of the season, 
I'll wait for you in the street again. 
In a city full of darkness, 
I'm always ready for the light.

    I'm 14. 
    And I just saw Bruce Springsteen
    Live for the first time. 

    I've loved him and his music since I was 6. 
    I've listened to him religiously since I was 7.

    018751 this was the lunch code I was given 
    My first day of third grade 
    My teacher wrote on my hand 
    With a green marker that smelled like berries 

    018751 this was the passcode for my first email
