Just yesterday

What happens to our ages
As we age, as we get older,
We are different people as
The years pass us slowly, 
It seems while they pass, 
They seem to pass slowly, 
But looking back, it's so
Clear that it, all our life,
Passed us by in a flash, as
Quickly as that proverbial
Wink, and all of a sudden
We are old. Older than I 
Ever expected I could be. 
My life is entwined with so
Many others, it is as if 
It's a we whose ages, whose
Years have passed quickly 
And before we, -I - could
Blink, proverbially or in
Real life, in irl, in the
Delightful parlance of this
Time of my real life, old,
Aging, quickly, wasn't it
Just yesterday, that we 
Were young. When can I no
Longer pretend that youth 
Is just behind me, like all
Things in the rear view, are
Closer than they appear.
