18

Screwed up school ball a bit?
Never mind,
Uni's just around the corner.

Not quite ready for that tattoo at 18?
Well no matter
get it some other day.

Except, the thing is;

that other day won't be as important,
and we never get second chances, not really.
The second graduation is half the first
the uni ball doesn't compare
and you will never turn 18 again.

Yes the school ball is a once in a lifetime time
which is now long ago,
and I will never turn 18 again.
