I remember my young days,

Picturing how it would be,

In my mind,

It was all planned out,

And I knew it would come to be,

This is the formula,

Stick to it; don’t you falter,

Yet, the formula changed,

I guess there were things I didn’t factor,

Or did it really change,

Or did it stay the same?

We’re there more pertinent things that mattered?

I doubt it-

I guess I am trying to put a reason to the matter,

Because in my young days,

Visualizing it made it so real,

Yet, in my older days,

It seems so far away.
