It was on the playground where we met our best friends, threw punches, and developed crushes. We learned to socialize with others, faced bullies, and stand up for ourselves. It was the playground, which defined everyone's life.

 The relationships we formed were prior to the release of hormones and thoughts of sex, before we earned money, before we receive diplomas and won awards. It is before our first serious heartbreak. The relationships at that time were the purest to who we are as people.

 Time moved forward. We grew, we aged and now have to dwell on the pressures of adulthood, yet our love, and our heart remains. If we lose ourselves, all we have to do is find our youth and we will find happiness.
