Give me time
A little more sand
To fall through my emptying hourglass
Because I can’t help from falling
Like the sand
Too quickly, always too quickly
Always ready to move
Then stop
But all I want is more sand

As teenagers we all want to grow up or act like we are grown up until the day that we realize we ARE growing up and maybe we just want to be kids a little longer.
