So now that you’ve leaped,
How far do you want to fly?
Do you stop here in despair
Or continue on and try?
So young you are
Yet you surpass me by a day
But maybe youthfulness
Can’t be measured in that way.
Calendars, days, weeks
Minutes, hours—TIME
Fifteen years and nothing’s changed you
But is that how you feel inside?
So awkward, gangly, nerdy
But so easy to crack a smile
Your real loyalty and realness
Are far greater than any child’s
So determined to succeed
But still set on having fun
Like eating a million Twinkies
So you can lose weight and run
Hide your feelings in jokes
Laughter’s invisible walls
Make it easy to set aside,
But make it harder when you fall
Grow older, wiser
And then you’re bound to see
That at the age of fifteen,
You were silly to like a girl like me.
