The Boy I Left Behind

I've been thinking of a boy I used to know. Seems like only yesterday, Was it so very long ago? We parted ways, I don't know when, I'd like to find that boy again. Would he approve if he could see The man that he grew up to be? So many years have come and gone since then, And time takes a heavy toll. Forever young will he remain While I have grown so old, And memories begin to dim Of places I might look for him. How much that world I knew has changed. Or has it just been rearranged? I've been wondering what would happen should I find Somewhere, tucked away, The boy I left behind. What would he say? Would he like me, or despise me? Would he even recognize me? Was that his voice whispering in my head? "I'm not the one who changed," it said.
