That Time This Time

And so anyway there we were,
there we were among the young,
wondering how did the time slip
away so swiftly in an elegant

silence reminding us that we
were like that once,
we were young,
we danced,
we drank,
we lived like there was no tomorrow,
but then tomorrow came
and we cried,
we didn't cry for long,
just a short time,
and then we decided
it was not so bad,
we could do whatever we
needed to do
and then we did it,
and again the time
flew by and suddenly
we were near the end
and this time we laughed.
