"My Youth"

As I look back into the echos of my youth.
I feel a lost moment in time.
Feelings that I can't grasp,
but can't let go of.

Love's that have long gone.
Emotions that linger still in my mind.
Chasing the youth that I have left behind.
Not wanting to catch up to the future.

In my mind time has stood still.
But to this body Time has been unkind.
Memories of faces are still the same.
And smiles have not changed.
My heart still cherrishes my memories of the past.
The only thing that has slipped away is "My Youth".
