Lost in the sands of time I see, myself reading and rereading The silly notes, the feeling poured out On the leaves of the book I still hold dear I still feel the pain The loneliness The rejection The silliness that is attached to The feeling of a youthful heart The heart that skipped The stomach that flipped Stays steady with the warmth of your touch Thanking the Supreme for the turn of events Thanking the pain for the fruits I enjoy today For the person I am now For the life I have lived, shared and loved.
