A girl I once knew
For my friend Mellory, Happy Birthday
you’re gone, but not forgotten,
frames of movies past,
just memories remain
sands of time ran out,
musical refrain
danced our youth away
school days and beaches,
follies of our youth
time skipped, slipped, night and day
yesterday, playing at teenagers
now you have youth eternal
while I watch the clock wind down, all around ages
youth fades away, once fresh faces
lines remain, etched stories of different places
Once upon time, we were both young but that was yesterday
