Remember that time

You woke up on an airplane

And looked outside a window to see the sunrise?

Remember how the greenish – blue light

filled your insides with a warm feeling?

That was Hawaii.

Remember that time

You arrived at a luxurious hotel

And your mother said you were on the 33rd floor?

Remember how amazing the view was with people scattered everywhere

And the sound of monkeys fighting for fruit in a nearby zoo?

That was Hawaii.

Remember that time

You swam with dolphins

And chose to water fight with one?

That must have been the biggest mistake you ever made.

Remember how you laughed

When a dolphin high – fived your mum?

That was Hawaii.

Remember that time

A marching band paraded down the road

Followed by horses, people in cars and even royalty?

Remember how the sun kept beating down on your skin

And how you climbed onto a stone wall

To see above the crowd?

That was Hawaii.

Remember that time

The sun began to set

And the sky became a mixture of purple, orange and green?

Remember that sunset on your last night

On the Hawaiian shore?

That was Hawaii.
