Older

I don't understand 
How you never will get older 
How you will stay the same in my mind 
For the rest of time 

And I will continue to get older 
And I will soon 
One day grow old 
Without you 
And I would grow older 
And older with you 

And I still will never understand 
How I can get older 
Than you 
And you will stay the same 

And I'll look up into the sky 
Without you 
And I'll see the stars 
Spell out your name
The same way it would roll of my lips 
But now when I say it 
It sounds fake and untrue 

And every day 
I'll wonder to myself 
How is it fair 
That you would never grow older 
And we would never grow together 
And my kids would never know yours 
And my wife would never know yours 
And I'll live the rest of my life with you 
And maybe in the end 
My plans will lead me back to you

    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
