Right there next to you

Recently I found an interview
where you shared some vivid memories
from your childhood & old neighborhood
It was so interesting to read 

And the way you were describing it all
 made me feel like I was right there next to you
right there next to you

You recalled laying on the tenement rooftop
on sultry summer nights 
loving the feel of the warm wonderful breezes
underneath the moonlit sky 

and I was right there next to you
right there next to you 

You remembered the various street vendors
with all of their sweet & salty treats
describing in delicious detail 
all of the tasty foods they had to eat

and I was right there next to you
right there next to you

You told of acting out Gunsmoke
and other tv shows with your friends
even describing a certain teacher
that you had a huge "crush" on way back then 

and I was right there next to you
right there next to you 


I'm so glad I got to walk with you 
through some of your memories
and even join you on that rooftop
for the warmest summer breeze 

I wish I really could have been 
right there next to you
right there next to you


-Me

While reading the part about him spending those hot nights on the rooftops & feeling the warm summer breezes, I thought of this gorgeous song 

"Warm summer breeze blows endlessly, touching the hearts of those who feel"
-ELO 'One Summer Dream'
