Change

What can I do to make this stay? 
To make all the moments, 
Where we were infinite last forever. 

To keep the good days for the future, 
And carry the bad along with my past. 
How can I let life change, 
But not let go. 

What do I do with my life, 
When my eyes begin to grow tired. 
As my mind slows, 
Where can I rest far from the shadows?
But still, be true to my soul. 

If I saw a shooting star, 
How would it change my day? 
And as fall ends, 
Will any of this truly stay?

    I'm 14. 
    And I just saw Bruce Springsteen
    Live for the first time. 

    I've loved him and his music since I was 6. 
    I've listened to him religiously since I was 7.

    018751 this was the lunch code I was given 
    My first day of third grade 
    My teacher wrote on my hand 
    With a green marker that smelled like berries 

    018751 this was the passcode for my first email
