When You Were Young Poem by LiRa de asis

When You Were Young

Can’t you remember
When you were young
And nothing mattered
Except for the sun

Everything was simple
Feelings rarely got hurt
And nobody minded
If you laid in the dirt

So you got a little time
Have you chosen the past
The memories there
Have not long to last

Some things you may
Never ever forget
Others, forever,
You’ll learn to regret

So live a little backwards
For an hour or two
And live the moments over
That made you you

Don’t you remember
When you were young
Forever was so short
It proffered a run
