When I was very young
and you were very, very young
We both fresh
overwhelmed
staring at our guardian stars
with a growing envy of life

When I was young
and you were very, very young
my face just turning to look inside me
yours
on the fights up above
our souls aghast at the clashes of brilliance

When I was very young
and you were very, very young
we played in the midnight sand
my skin warmed by a morning tan
your mind just beginning to dawn

When I was young
and you were very, very young
I took your hand to lead you along
down a road I too was led upon
