Afraid of getting old ...

Everyone around me wants to change, wants to evolve,
While I'm just sitting about all day afraid of getting old,
Afraid of my insides eroding, slowly wasting away,
I try so hard to block these thoughts but they slowly have there way,
The world is changing and it's a scary place to be,
And that's why I'm so thankful to have my boyfriend here with me,
A hand to hold when things get tough, when I hide away in bed,
These thoughts they creep inside, and he'll wipe my tears instead.

Getting old isn't, so bad, take it from one who knows! Your boyfriend sounds a gem.
