You\u2019re often in love with strangers,
And still too young to recognize
That none of your fantasies
Have ever become real.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The strongest emotions you feel
Are for those with whom you\u2019ve interacted the least,
The places you\u2019ve never gone, and the things you have yet to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a promising future ahead of you,
You expect nothing from the present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But someday you will be arrested by your first wrinkle,
And feel old in a bar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will no longer look hopefully into the future,
But woefully into the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
