I was looking in the mirror, And found to my surprise- A stranger staring back at me, With hard, and wary eyes. Gone, the innocence of youth- The strength of middle age- A lot of bad decisions, Were written on the page. Scars, and wrinkles say a lot- You are like an open book. The past is written plainly, If one knows how to look. I could see each rash decision, And the signs oft left by pain- Which serve as a reminder- Of what not to do again. Regrets, oh, yes, I have some- And memories, not a few- Of people who have long been dead- Or merely, lost, like you. Lost, in this sense, only- You are not here with me… But, dear, I wish you all the best- Wherever you might be. |
