In The Eye Of The Beholder?

I’m not that girl, can never be.

I can’t go back, to 33.

I tried in vain to recreate,

the way you used to look at me.

Been there, done that,

couldn’t if I tried.

No way to turn the hands of time,

and relive 35.

I never thought mere numbers,

would scare your love away.

What the hell am I still doing here?

waiting for words that you might say.

Im older now, don’t look the same,

a few wrinkles, and added weight

I guess for you that matters,

you moved on, with an upgrade.
