This is not a tribute. This is not the version of a passage when something is forever lost it becomes sweeter in the memory of ...

Feel's like I'm getting older
I'm not afraid
although I'm worlds apart from yesterday
and yet I can't believe I'm old enough today
to be in love, and feel in love
and see if love's the way
