Years

With a heavy heart I sigh
as my teenage years speed by
friends and lovers flash before my eyes 
their faces are familiar but names not remembered
time is in fast forward
i am an adult before i am ready
responsibiltys and burdens are heavy
please take me back
to when i was young
because im not ready for this
im too young
