it's the thing i'm most afraid of

to grow old is to take one step closer to the cold, cold grave

we enter this world, helpless and alone, only to grow old and die much in the same way

i don't want to grow old, i don't want to forget, i don't want to not be able to run and laugh and cry and swim and make love to you

if i must grow old, then so be it. i cannot stop the wind from blowing, the sun from setting, or the clock from ticking me closer to that eventuality.

we all eventually do, this i know. and we all eventually die. maybe i am afraid to die, who isn't? but more than that...

i'm afraid to die alone

i don't want to grow old
