Don’t take me back, just bring me back

Hi. No. Hello! No. Hey. Okay, that's good.

Hey, I know it's been a while since the - you know - no I'm not denying it happened, I just think it should stay in the past.

You're right, I brought it up. I'm sorry.

Look, I'm sorry. I really am. It's just, sometimes time kinda sticks with you y'know? Like some broken part of a clock forgot to move on and is still stuck in your hair.

Okay okay, I'll get on with it. This morning, I heard the ice cream truck passing by the house - no, wait I have a point, I swear - so the ice cream truck goes by, and I hear it chiming but when I look out the window, none of the kids are running up to it. And I think it's been that way for a while, I just never really paid much attention to it. Then I see the ice-cream man for just a second and his face is bored, and I just got to thinking, there's something kids can just revive in some people y'know? And with these mass produced buckets of ice-cream that sell for far cheaper than the spongebob popsicles, kids have become too smart to fall for it. And I know it's good to know where you are in the world but, where's the "ignorance is bliss"? It's ruining us. Smarts. Schools. I don't remember much about any of my classes, but I sure sit still when my boss walks by, I don't run out to the taco trucks when they're in town cause I know it'll just make my face swell - but damn do I wish I could taste the mess sometimes.

You were right about it all. I just can't let go of some things. But it wasn't your fault, you just had to suffer me. I'm sorry. I really am.

I know it's not gonna be the same but I hope you can just say a few words to me when you see me, instead of just hiding away like those kids. Just to revive me.
