here;
stealing smiles.

just close your eyes

8:08 pm one day;
i just know
i'll be old.
and hurting and limping
of many ills ago.

i'll rummage through my memory box
find all the odds and ends i thought i'd lost
coz i know the many fleeting things in life
would be dusty and waiting for me inside.

maybe in the back
of my mind
the box would
give a little rattle
yet again another
reminder;
so

i'll rummage through my memory box
find all the odds and ends i thought i'd lost
coz i know the many fleeting things in life
would be dusty and waiting for me inside.

so when im more forgetful
and missing my friends
and thinking about the times
when we once held hands
all the stupid movies we watched
at the beach with our toes in sand
funny things we said,weird times we talked
when i grow up, i'll miss it all.

i'll rummage through my memory box
find all the odds and ends i thought i'd lost
stop awhile; smile and reminsince
and then i'll wonder how i'd passed my lifetime.
