the lesson has been learned

we'll take the spring over this fall

and when it's not getting better,

it's time to grow older.



never forgetting, anything



we try to hold on to why it began

will we survive through this crush

or will we lose touch,

lose sight and just give in.

please don't give in



ready or not

the years will pass

will you know what to do

when it sneaks up on you



they tell you don't pretend

tell them why it began

don't expect them to understand

but expect to tell it all again.
