Live Forever

When you are young inside it
You think these moments
Will always live forever

Waking in the van still stoned
Her naked body beside you
The sound of waves breaking

Smell of warm meat pies
Cracking that first beer
Dawn creaking like a behemoth

Over the still frozen horizon
Walking along a deserted beach
Like the last two people on earth

Music everywhere and shells
Like bright brittle currency
You don't question your worth

What you're doing where you're going
You just are fundamentally you
As you understand that to be

Later there may be revision
Comprehension of complications
Extenuating circumstances

But when you are young inside it
You think these moments
Will always live forever
