The secret of youth

I see this girl standing all alone at her bedroom window. She's looking out at the world, seeing nothing but her own mirror image.
The world has passed her by, she can feel it in her bones. It's got no mercy for a lonely girl, so sad and dark.
As she watches, it seems to goin slower, the days and hours going past in a more tolerable speed, showing her images of what is going to be, but nothing of what has been before.

The girl is ffeling better watching this, but not completely herself. Then, in a flash as bright and fast as that of a lightning bolt, she sees a boy who's soul is as dark and disturbed as her own. She instantly sees that this boy is meant for her and no one else, forever.

I see this girl dancing on her lawn, her soul sad and dark, her mind somewhere else, with a boy watching, his soul as dark and broken as hers is not.
He's smiling, laughing and yelling at the girl, in a manner most peculiar. He seems t be genuinely happy in spite of his souls sadness. She's also laughing, smiling and crying.
These tears are the happy tears of someone who's finally found his or her place in a world that passes by faster than you can see, hear or feel.

On the other side of the fence stands a crowd of people looking at the two sad, yet happy, children. These people are all sad, although their souls are smiling and laughing in unison with the boy and girl.
Their souls feel the happiness of youth and innocence while their minds and bodies see the corruption of life and time itself.

We are all bound to this world in as many ways as there are people in he world, and though this is sad and scary, we must take refuge in the fact that there's always someone right for each of us, be it a friend, a familymember or a wife/husband.

We will all experience the innocent and happy youth and the boring, sad and deceitfull adult life.
It will be torture, but there is refuge in this too.

Hold on to your immortal soul, keep it young and smiling and let it smile and laugh through your body and mind, and you shall be happy forever.
