The Time of Youth

In my youth
How time
Lingered
So surreal

Taken for granted
Spent on wishes
Squandered

How ironic
To crave
So profoundly
Wholeheartedly

To wish for it all
Back to treasure
Each nano second

I have to guess as a youth you were focused on a couple of things so time seemed to linger. But not really. You are so much more now with many interests and loves that the time you give to each is now so much more precious! We just have to be more frugal with our time now and give it to what is really the most important.

Hello Line … youth; when we're ten feet tall and bulletproof. Great times but with many lost opportunities - thank you Line - Lindsay

Youth is wasted on the young. I guess we are all meant to experience regret.

Yes, yes. Meanwhile we don't Aporeciate what we have now. I could not have reached my heights, had I not fallen into so many by ways and valleys. Today is all we have Panagiota

Indeed - the best we can do is not take time for granted.

If only we knew then what we know now, we might have used our time a bit more wisely. Nicely done my friend.

We don't seem to truly know what we have until it's gone. The pining is palpable here... But time remains, my friend, moving at the same steady pace. Embrace it now and try to let go of past regrets <3

How strange that it seems inconceivable that time moves at a constant pace. It's a conundrum that is difficult to let go.
