Age is just a number
At most, it measures wisdom
Age is just a symbol
Of the years that you’ve been given
Age is just a collection
Of thoughts and memories
Age is not a title
Of who you want to be
My age will not match up
With who I am right now
His age will always be far ahead
To catch up, I’m unsure how
But in truth, I never want to
For it would end the connection between
The person who I truly love
For who he has always been

I have to say that I love this poem so much. The words are so perfect. Maybe this is because I know the situation that you are in or that I can see exactly where it is that you are coming from. I know how it is that you feel and I see how happy you are when you are with him.
This poem is perfect. Age is just a number and should not determine who someone is or who it is that they are going to be. This does not determine how or why you love someone or even if you should be with someone.
It is a great poem and I think that you did a really good job of expressing your opinion because I know how you feel about it.
