AS LONG AS WE'RE TOGETHER


  Once in a while, I travel back in time, to a 
  Place I walked,

  Through my time of youth, where I played and 
  Ran wild.

  I knew of her as a child, back in the days of 
  Mischief,

  Young, and full of energy were we, never seemed 
  To be tired.

  The heat from the Summer sun, wasn't so harsh 
  At that age,

  Growing up in a town of many friends, and memories
  So great.

  We lived for the moment, as many moments would 
  Pass by, Into the future,

  How is it that the grandparents we once had, we 
  Have now become.

  We changed, and went our separate ways, finding 
  Our way in this strange world,

  Becoming parents, having children, and grandchildren, 
  As the cycle goes on.

  Full circle, as today we find ourselves in the same place, 
  After a lifetime apart,

  As long as we're together nothing else matters, time 
  Comes when we need to

  Just think of ourselves, and let all others live, and move 
  Along into their future.

  As long as we're together, everything will forever be better.
