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?

    yesterday 
    to you i was nine years old 
    with a black hurley hat 
    that never left my head 
    the hat that you would take 
    and try to hold it far above 
    my reach knowing i could never get it
