Farewell to You(Th)

I saw you by the water, your shoes were getting wet
I looked for your smile but it wasn’t there.
Its not that you were sad, though I knew you were running away
It was time for you to go you said
There was nothing I could do
We’ll always have the memories
We’ll always have our games …
Just hold on to what you can, you told me
And I cried when i should have laughed
Because it might have been the last time things would be so simple.
Farewell to you, farewell to youth
Farewell to you farewell to youth
It was an autumn day the air was cold
But isn’t this what happens
When you get too old
Weightlessness and make believe
Were packed away in your bag
I asked if I could go with you
But you said my place was here
That my shoes were different
They couldn’t travel like yours
With nothing left to say
You slowly walked away
You looked back just once but I could hardly see your face
What was that look what was that look you gave
It was an autumn day the air was cold
But isn’t this what happens
When you get too old
Once more I whispered as you disappeared
Farewell to you, farewell to youth
