Sixteen is ten years ago

Writer: Joke De RoeckJoke De Roeck

Do you remember

when we were sisters

spending days laying on the grass

talking about boys

dancing to this one reggae album

summer was our religion

we lived for flirting

counting scores and kisses

four of us

in one bed

eating late night cornflakes

singing to Lauryn Hill

oh when did we stop

being silly teenagers

when did boys start

growing beards

I hope that doesn't mean growing up

is supposed to happen

anytime soon
