I look over my shoulder yet I do not see it,
I long for yester year.
My childhood gone, my youth long passed,
But she swore she'd meet me here.

A pact we made, we sealed it twice,
I remember well the kiss.
Sweet tasting joy, like cinammon,
I wait again for this.

The hours pass, my heart falls low,
But I guess I already knew.
I had my time,
So where is my youth?
I left it back there with you.

(big hugggssssssss) I know this feeling ever so well, dearest friend, I grew up a sad boy and never got to live very happy days as a little boy, and whenever I dream I feel young with my dream girl and I want her ever so much so I can feel happily ever after! (sigh) This is touching, sweet friend, I send angel hugs of comfort out to you, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Albert, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Great rhythm .... that shows that youth is still there! Impatience shows it too!
Very lovely.

Oh that sweet cinammony kiss! Love that block of words! Kudos albert!

A dream is but a dream, you can wake up.  Reality is ultimate, and those who share it with us are far more important than anything we could remember,

Albert - thought a lot about this one, and it's so true, where is my youth?
