Folly of youth

Ties forged
And Broken
Million promises made
That we couldn't upkeep.
The closer we walked
The further we drifted.
A midsummer's night dream shifted
Into a deep winter's slumber.
The years came and they went.
We were ensnarled
In life's and time's traps.
The folly of youth
Once taught us to love.
But time has taught us to forget
What love is.
What was once important
Seemed senseless now.
What was once trivial,
Occupied our minds now.
