Ageless
Time passes and everything changes.
But my mind is still as young as before.
Time moves forward and my body ages.
But my heart remains the same as ever.
You look at me and you see the years
Written into my skin forever more.
You see this aged body and whitened hair
But inside I haven’t changed, no, never.
Time sweeps us through the days
And what you see alters as it passes
But the part your eyes can’t see
Is the me inside who never changes.
You see the wrinkles on my skin
And you see my now-needed glasses
You don’t see my heart full of love
Or my inner thoughts and my thoughts’ ranges.
Inside, I’m still young and full of hope.
Inside, I still have dreams for tomorrow.
The inner me still feels its youth
I still feel the same joy and the same sorrow.
I’m still full of passion and believe in romance.
I still laugh, and cry, and sing and dance.
You see my appearance
But I am changeless.
You see my age
But I am ageless.
