How wonderful this world could be if always looked at through the eyes of a child; ravenous for knowledge, forever ready for a new adventure. Each day would be filled with honesty and truth. Beauty would be seen in the most innocent and sincere way. Imagine how simple and carefree life would be, without judgement and without the true understanding of loss. #JayLong #poetry #poem #writer #poetryofinstagram @writerjaylong #jaylongwrites #writersofinstagram #artistsofinstagram #authorsofinstagram #writingprompt #writingcommunity #newyork #beautiful #lifequotes #quotes #spilledink #writing (at Delaware) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3e4zHwlMGw/?igshid=ggd3ly957y2g

@_victoriadee and myself did a #collab thing //////// I still remember the ocean breeze caressing your cheek when my lips met yours. How the bonfire crackled, and warmed the sand beneath our feet. We had no thoughts of tomorrow Simply living for today Our time was for a season But the memories will never fade I can't forget how the sun winked while slipping beneath the waves Or how the salty air stung my skin as I watched forever walk away. @writerjaylong ******************************** ******************************** We wrote our silent tears on pressed sunburnt parchment. I realized goodbyes are forever. With each tear, I watched the past disappear with the tide. I prayed each wave would erase the memory like it erased the shore. But it grabbed hold of me Pulling me beneath the riptide. I no longer struggled to keep our love afloat Some things were meant to sink like a buried treasure resting. Only to resurface and be discovered... Once again. @_victoriadee ////// #jaylong #poetry #poet #writer #writing #wordsmith #spilledink #victoria #poetryofinstagram #writersofinstagram #authorsofinstagram #amwriting #newyork #love #beautiful /// jaylongwrites.com

We ran aimlessly through this town, taking chances and called it an adventure We stole kisses under the Friday night bleachers and called it love It seemed our days were never ending obstacles on our way to wherever the hell we were going These streets call our name and we owe them everything Each step we took holds a memory and every forgotten regret a reason why we never busted out Visit jaylongwrites.com ___ #jaylong #poetry #quotes #beautiful #love #picoftheday #lifequotes #bestoftheday #quoteoftheday #wordporn #spilledink #wordsmith #writersofinstagram #writersofig #poetsofig #poetsofinstagram #igpoets #igwriters #storyteller #poetryofinstagram #poet #writing #writer #poetrycommunity #newyork #writerjaylong #typewriter #artistsofinstagram #authorsofinstagram
