17

Sometimes I search for 17 The entire world standing at my feet, vivid and determined dreams. A love inside bursting at the seams Sometimes I search for 17 Sometimes I search for 16 When I first felt falling in love When holding hands sent chills down my spine and there was no lack thereof. Sometimes I search for 16 Sometimes I search for 15 When innocence in ignorance was still a thing No stress, no worries, childhood on its final string. Sometimes I search for 15 Remembering when I was just a girl Holding hunger and drive This willingness to be alive. Back when I looked forward to 25. Now I sit in 26 The closing chapters start to hit Time has passed right through my grasp It's true what they say, life happens fast.
