April 15, 2022 – written while listening to J-Pop that I don’t understand in more ways than one
We were too young for it to last,
Though I wished it could-’ve
Hopes for the future when you are young
Are a part of falling in love
Too young for those dreams to take root
Too late for those hopes to become real
We were too young for it to last
Though I have wished for it so bad
Instead we hold our memories with a smile
And remember the happy times when we are sad
We were just too young for it to last.
And so now we are grown
And life has taken us each our own ways
We have found both lives apart now
And of course that is okay
Too old now for those old dreams to take root
Too late for those hopes to become real
We were too young for life to last
Though I have wished for it so bad
Instead we hold our memories with a smile
And remember the happy times when we are sad
We were just too young for it to last.
And you are so far away
So far that even a phone call can’t reach you anymore
So far that I can only see you in a dream
So far that life is no longer what it seems
You are so far away, love never stays…
We were too young for it to last
Though I have wished for it so bad
Instead we hold our memories with a smile
And remember the happy times when we are sad
We were just too young for love to last.
We leave our lives into the past
Wondering why some days are so sad
We walk our memories mile after mile
And remember the good days instead of the bad
Being old means that life is mostly in the past.
