You could be young again
and I could grow old
Make a new start
a new way of life
Reinvent the wheel to suit our desires
Because love is the power that holds us together
And it is the power that could keep us afloat
Lest we die of old age
with regrets clouding our sight
and forgotten possibilities wrinkling our faces
and bitter broken hearts that will cease their beating in our unhappy chests
