future

sometimes i wonder
in the near-distanced future
who will be there; who won't
young as i am
how many will stay
for you are already beginning to slip away

how many bright minds will i see
when i am an elder in this community
and to watch them trod the same path
as i once did
knowing one day
i'll leave them just as you did

i understand, we all have lives
childhood fantasies, creativity
but the real world is harsh and bitter
so why should it hurt less

maybe one day i'll look back
reminisce the good times
where'd we'd laugh and cry together
and i'll wish i'd held on a little harder
