Forever Young

Time is mysteriously tricky.  The faster you want it to go, the slower it goes.  The slower you want it to go, the faster it goes.

I remember when we used to hold hands and run through the forest beyond your backyard.  When we played with you dolls in the dark with a flashlight.  I thought you'd never grow up.

But like I said, time was against us.  You grew up.  Barbies went in the trash, memories went into dust.  We never play anymore.  You completely ignored me.  It was like you were blind to me.  I had to hop around to avoid bumping into you.  But then I knew.

I will be forever young and you forever old.  Sometimes you don't realize it, but I'm still here.
