Not Even a Fade…

everyday
i know I am older
everyday
i look back
to days that seem,
so far away
a cheeky smile,
and something to say

for a while,
that was okay
that was enough,
get up, go out,
feel rough,
find work,
find a shoulder to cry on,
find yourself hurt

everyday
i look back,
to those days
they went too quickly
not even a fade
everyday
i know I am older
