Hello-Goodbye
Hello
You are strange, yet familiar
Young
Yet I see experience in your eyes
Tell me about yourself
Why do you do the things you do
One day you will love
One day you will hope
You now smile with disdain
But I have seen through your eyes
Hello
Life is set before you
Young
Not a care in the world
No not one
Understanding comes from within
Yet you look outward
When will we talk
Goodbye
I know I have wasted my time
You now stranger than ever
I see your vibrant life
Old
Yes I feel older in your presence
My wisdom, proven foolish
What will become of me
Goodbye
I am strange
Old
My experience now foolishness
Me, there is nothing to tell
Why do I do the things I do
Because I love
Because I hope
My smile genuine yet sarcastic
Now look through my eyes
