Now that I am twenty
I do not want to be twenty
I want to be ten
Needing a license for a pen.
I caught up with an old friend
We'd agree on a weekend
Just dinner and skating
hopefully no line waiting.
I realised we were both aging
We'd still used terms like paging,
We were reaching the end of the book
And grey hair became our common look.
He had a repetitive strain injury
and I felt like I was writing history
To think we've known each other for a decade
and that's the kind of friendship that never fades.

He moved into the country when I was 10. We have been friends on. Surprising how much you can talk about in the span of a 2 hour car drive. We have always been friends, and it's nice to have someone who will say "shut up dude, you're 20. You ain't that old yet" (i can even remember the time at 13 when I got so mad at him for making the girl I like , like him. Now we're 20 and we talk about futures....and we realise , we were the future. The future we spoke of when we were 10. We were definitely aging.)
