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.
