The Age Of Innocence

I knew a girl, she was my everything,
inside this crazy world we're living in.
But she was the wind, floating in and out of my life, 
calling me a friend and nothing more.

Then time became my enemy, passing by me mercilessly,
never bringing her on back to me.
And I was a rolling stone, stopped dead in my tracks alone,
that day she left me silent by myself.

Skepticism flowing through my veins.
The pangs of love lost resonating, rendering me lame. 
My whole existence crumbling apart,
with all I thought I knew left echoing in the chasms of my heart.

And I knew a boy, he was wide eyed innocent, intelligent,
and joyful for his life.
But now he's a ghost, fading away rapidly, so tragically,
a mere shadow of my former self.

Nothing that I claimed to know was true.
It all was lies sold to me through pop songs with overly poetic views.
Never thought I'd make it through the strife,
until you my new love walked right in that day into my life.
