This is my story.
It’s one I know well,
of leaves once green,
turned brown as they fell.
It seemed like forever,
but we grew up at last.
Now here I sit,
reminiscing the past.
I can see it all clearly,
staring back through the haze,
life is a strange arrangement of days.
It’s hard to let go
those times of regret.
Yet, in the end,
lessons are all we get.
The mistakes I make now,
I’m beginning to find,
one day will be lessons
in the back of my mind.
