We were so young
And had no idea
And we thought we were still living
Waiting to be grown up
Until we realized
We were old
We were them
And they were us
Younger and more vibrant
Still alive
With the optimism
We’d abandoned
And all the things we could ever have been
Floated away
Neither good nor bad
Right not wrong
Just impossible
Now that it was gone
Every day became a frame around our lives
Making them clearer and clearer
Until there was no ambiguity
That potentiality could bring
Only what was
And what would never be
