Do You Remember

Do you remember
feeling young
and like the world was so big
and nothing outside of your space
even mattered 
to you

Do you remember
wanting to grow old
but deeply knowing
it wasn't as safe
and wasn't as sure
as being young

Do you remember
that moment
when your youth escaped you
and you felt it leave
never returning

Do you remember
understanding
responsibility
no win situations
consequences
and loss

Do you remember
feeling young?
