Whispered words held so dear long ago

haunt our hearts like ghost pains

the past is dark and cruel but

I don't want these times to end.


We are young and we are young

forever, right? We are naive and immature.

We've learned and failed and succeeded.

We've loved and lost and won.


Fireflies glow in our carefree summers

and leaves fall in our windy autumns

and snow glistens in our cold winters

and flowers bloom in our hopeful springs

and we grow and we grow and we are still

forever

young.
