the untitled years

a young boy, only age 16
sitting on a swing.
his feet dragging in the sand.
he was just left alone.
his girl fell for another.
young love can be so harsh
but harsh love is not really love.
but what does he know about love?
quite and calm his life has just begun.
he has so much more to offer,
but he is just caught up in girls.
unable to make his move,
he just sits and lets the world pass him by.
he has so many dreams,
most he wont fulfill.
soon he will have to work hard,
but that seems so far away.
he sees the innocence in people
even when they think they have none left.
he's a lot deeper than he lets most people know.
thoughts of larger philosophies dance in his mind.
life seems to take forever to pass.
maybe its cause he keeps looking to his past.
his future is bright, if only he knew
what time would bring to him.
but for now he sits, alone, lost
soon his eyes will open
and he will truely live his life
but he just waits, to see what he's been missing
