i forgot

i forgot
how much we slept in when
young.
how noon
fast approached
with us still in bed.
i forgot how much we
ate,
how much we needed food
and more food
to keep going,
how easy it was to
go all day,
to stay up so late.
i forgot how fresh our
eyes were,
how new the world appeared,
a clean and
unmarked slate.
i forgot
so many things about
being young.
it's nice to be reminded.
