Teenage Years

Smiles, tears, superficial fears, all are part of teenage years.
First dates, first cars, having crushes on football stars.
First jobs, first kisses, one too many hits and misses.
The best years of growing up, with great achievments and screwing up.
Goods girls, bad boys, finally throwing out old toys.
Sneaking out, getting caught, remembering all the fights we've fought.
Boyfriends, girlfriends, hoping their love never ends.
Heart-breaks, making out, just to hear parents shout.
Drugs, pot and beer, all parts of the teenage years.
High school, college, then it all ends, it's time to change again.
But we'll remember the times when we won, we lost, when we cried.
We'll always have memories of our fights and fears,
And all the good times spent in the teenage years.
