In Our Prime

A time for us when we were young,                                                            
love would roll off the tongue.                                                                  
Youth gave us all the time,                                                                         
that was when we were in our prime.

Nice summary of what seemed eternal back then, and now is so terribly fleeting. Evanescent Florescence, Gershon
