I can't explain
The feeling
Of excitement
On my birthdayOf course you all know how it is
The rush
And the butterflies
That flutter in your stomach
Each minute of the daySo no need to explain
But to turn 16
Boy what a joy!
A bigger rush and more butterflies
Than last yearThe simple knowing that I was that much more out of childhood
Felt exquisiteBut there was also a feeling of loss
And guilt
The things I did
Felt to be gone forever
Just a memory in my brain
Forever implantedBut at least I have them to share
And a year is another way to create
More of those memories
Filled with
Love
Joy
Fun
And some childlike fantasy
Because 16 doesn't mean too old
It means still so young and oh so curious for more
