The Youth We Once Knew

All the secret letters

Passed by one another

A story of youth

A time of understanding

We laughed about the what ifs

Unsure of the future

Walking on the same paths

Always making the same mistakes

But that is what kids do

Always onto something new

Curious about what to do

So inexperienced

Too naive

Unfazed by the time

Ticking onward

Making promises that would soon be broken

A trip to the lake

An experiment with some change

A sunset so mesmerizing

Our fingers locked intertwining

We fear for whats to come

Fear the unknown

As we head into our last years of our youth

We prepare ourselves for the world of adulthood

As soon as we walk to the end

We separate

We begin

All over again
