A Language We Forgot-陈弈

We used to talk in secret codes
And laugh until we cried
Drew spaceships on the sidewalk
Pretending we could fly
But now you sip your coffee
Like someone I just met
We speak the same old language
But the words feel secondhand
You asked me how I’m doing
I said I’m doing fine
Then nodded through the silence
Like we ran out of time
You smiled a little sideways
Your eyes said something more
But we forgot the phrasing
To open that old door
We had a language once
No grammar, just the glow
Of summers in our sneakers
And secrets only we’d know
Now every phrase feels distant
Each sentence slightly wrong
We had a language once
But we forgot the song
Do you remember jelly shoes
And jokes that made no sense?
We spoke like we were mirrors
Now we speak in past tense
But maybe just a gesture
Could teach us back the tune
A look, a laugh, a memory
That hums like childhood's moon
We had a language once
Not made of nouns and names
But painted in our footsteps
And wild backyard games
If I forget the sentences
I hope you still belong
To the rhythm of my memory
To the beat of our lost song
...a language we forgot.
