Growing Young With You

We grow young together,
You and I.
I miss seeing that smile every day.
I miss hearing that laugh.
I miss everything that we were.
Those lazy days,
Being children,
Running through the woods,
Jumping through puddles,
Ignoring time,
And everything that went with it.
It did not exist.
But, children get older.
The time has changed.
So much has changed.
In both of us.
And more to come.
And still,
The winds of time have failed
In pulling us apart.
Nothing could.
You are the only one who knows me.
Who understands who I am,
And why.
And I hope that I understand you.
I know I do.
And when I see you,
I can breathe.
I can be myself.
No holds barred.
Because I have nothing to hide.
And you would know if I tried.
And when I am with you,
I grow young again.
Dreaming is okay.
And I can be who I want to be.
I grow yuong again.
