She will not see the girl again
Who cast all caution to the wind:
Who laughed too loud, and loved too hard —
But age is not a crime, it is
A sort of joyful dancing after dawn —
She can’t go back to how it felt
When everything was way too much,
And way too good, and way too new:
She got a turn on stage, so now
She’ll take her pleasures where and when
She finds them
