Looking Back

I see myself today
                                           as once I saw others,
                                    an old man walking,
                                       with nowhere to go,
                                      wondering what he remembers
                                            of his youth.

                                     As being one of those 
                                            old men  today,
                                      I remember so much.

                                     My first love, 
                                          holding hands and
                                        kissing.

                                     Gathering my change together,
                                          to buy her a gift.

                                      Sitting in her den,
                                          watching TV,
                                         while her parents
                                              just out of earshot.

                                       Those are the days,
                                        I shall never forget.
