Old long-playing records

I have lived so many years in this world.
I was sure that I had a wonderful youth.
My memories were full of bright colors.

Today I decided to listen
to my favorite songs
that were saved
by the old long-playing records.

They were long-playing records
of sadness.
They were long-playing records
of loneliness.
The sky was so close to me.
The rain was my friend.

I became an adult.
I have lived many years in this world.
I became sure that I had a wonderful youth.
