Misconceptions Of Growing Old

We had secrets that were meant to forever be secret. We made friends and swore to forever be so. Met our first love and promised it would last forever. We had "our song", so many more have come and gone since then. We lived for the day, never considering the possibility of growing old. Now we speak of our young secrets and laugh. We happily reunite with friends, yet some will never be again. We have always loved and, for most of us, have found the finest and last love. Our songs, like us, get better with age. We still live for today, pause to remember the young restless souls of yesterday and laugh at the misconceptions of growing old.
