Gelatin nature

twenty one years

is nothing

i was only sixteen 

when we first met

never been kissed

dying to fall in love

waiting for someone

to dream and to miss

you just turned seventeen

you thought you knew it all

cool sunglasses

badass sneakers

and a walk to impress

you thought you had me

and swore to my heart

i thought you had me

and swore back

holding hands

kissing in the dark

making promises

we we sure we could keep

talking about forever

and ever

never mentioning

the fact that life

has its own way

of making us fall asleep

and forget.

but somewhere down deep

i've never forgotten

what we used to share

so pure and yet so naïve

i still carry the heart

of that sixteen year old kid

and will treasure it

like one treasures a trophy

for as long as i shall live.
