Growing older.

Sometimes old memories, 
Come creeping through my mind. 
And I think about who I once was 
And the girl I left behind...
 
Now I'm a shadow of myself 
Back then it was all for show 
The bravado and the confidence 
Was someone I didn't know... 

Now I am quite content 
And happy being me,
I don't pretend anymore 
You get just what you see... 

I don't like getting older, 
It doesn't fill my heart with glee 
But one thing I am certain of,
Is I'll do it disgracefully.. ?

I know the body ages 
But I'm not sure memories do 
And nothing in the world can take 
those away from you.
