It wasn't just a time or a place; it was our world. We knew the sounds. We knew the playful yells, the barks, the chirps, the clank of the plastic ball against the bat; We knew the hums of the trees as the sun dissolved into the sky.
We knew the dirt that coated our sun darkened skin and the lightening bugs that flashed against the black sky. The smoke from the grill against our faces and the birthday songs time after time, year after year.
We knew love.
