		"blue-black (dyed)"

twenty-four years old
a week and two days
exactly a month ago
i've never felt so old
time will do its damage
as living takes its toll
and love is a whole
other game we dare to play
i've lost so many times
dare i dream now?
when so many other wishes
have turned to dust
there were times in my past
i can admit it now
where i would've taken that
ten-story dive
you know it all so well
so what else can i say?
i'm getting older
and i'm too old to cry
