Don't know where she is on this day <br />the world though small she's too far <br />years have traveled a long way <br />and she was sixteen when I last saw her! <br /> <br />Can't imagine her a grown woman <br />with shades of grey wrinkled skin <br />my time with her so fast ran <br />and I had seen her last at sixteen! <br /> <br />Does she sing a line of the love song <br />in a forlorn night remember <br />a boy lost to her for too long <br />and she was sixteen when I last saw her! <br /> <br />Can't imagine any older she could be <br />the girl a lover could have been <br />but the winds blew her too quickly <br />and I had seen her last at sixteen!<br /><br />Pradip Chattopadhyay<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sixteen-16/
