Sixteen Again – Written Monday 2nd October 2006 (Aged 31)

Sixteen Again

it’s autumn and i love you
i am sixteen again
with tears in my eyes
it’s summer in our house again
i am sixteen again
with my eyes,
at their widest
there was no happy ending
i never got the girl
or even the world
it’s autumn and the sun shines
i am sixteen again
with fumbling hopes
i hope you understand
chained to clichés and bells that never stop
and i love you,
it’s there for the touch




James Garratt – Monday 2nd October 2006
