We faded
like raindrops
in a heat wave
you and I
because
we realized
we were meant
for better things
besides
cropped dreams
and naïve desires
that held on
like youth
slipping
through the cracks
of hula-hoop thoughts
and jump rope feelings
that we learned to overcome
we grew up

Neat nifty, and a most excellent write... sparse (to fit into the 50 word thingy) but really quite succinct and fine... loved it!
