Eternally Young

A fact of life is death.

Eternity is not only yours.

An eternity doesn't end

Once you do.

Eternity goes on.

Something forever.

I know I can't live for eternity.

I don't think I'd want to anyway.

That hit me a long while ago.

I like things straightforward.

But I also know that I can't be

Young

For eternity.

It hit me the other day.

I'm going to high-school at summer's end.

I won't be young forever.

Eternity isn't mine.

Eternal life is as impossible

As being eternally young.
