View Article  First Kiss, Summertime, 20 year nostalgia

I love the 80s.  I was born in 1974 so most of my childhood memories are from the 80s. 

My first kiss was in the 80s.  It was beautiful disater that for some reason reminds me of
Nocera's 1987 song "summertime, summertime".  Remember that song:

Chorus:
Take me
Take me to the water
Summertime, Summertime
Maybe, we can fall in love
In Summertime, Summertime

I listen to the rain outside
Please come and take me for a ride
I really want you
To come and take me far away
I want to say

Chorus


I'm here lying on the sand
You look down to me and take my hand
I can't believe it's true
But you got me after thee
Until you say

Chorus

I'm in my 30's now with two kids (as of 2006).  Time seems to go faster and faster with each passing year.  I'm no longer have the naivety of youth.  Youth is relative, my co-workers still see me as a kid.  Youth seems so disposable to me now but when I had it I felt like I would will live forever.  I don't have that luxury anymore because, I've felt the death of too many of my loved ones. 

I find myself looking back and wondering where all those summers of first kisses went.  With a smile on my face, I know that 20 years is really no time at all.  I am certain that if I am lucky enough to reach 50, I'll look back on all the decades I will have lived and smile and laugh at the hardest at 1980s and my childhood summers that are for me 20 years ago as of 2006.
