The to never be again

A second not so far away
Just a moment 
nothing more
I remember it still
I feel it in my bones and when I lie awake
And yet
I cannot see it
The to never be again
The to never be on swing sets and in trees
In ignorance and simple
In timeless and sublime
Gone and lost and floating in the wind
Lightly heavy in some way I may not understand 
The to never be with dolls and braids and pink and small
The to never be again but for a moment now and then is all
