A Sort of Immortality

"You and I will be
Young forever"

There's people I look up to
Though I don't know them -
The actors that embody what I love and
Who I am now.
Especially those who become
Role models
Because their characters are.

It seems impossible to think that
One day
You'll be no more

Except,
You will still be here.
Take out the DVD,
Press play
And there you are.
Young and in your prime.

It'll take me back too -
To figuring out my feelings
And working out what I believe in,
To eager mornings
Discussing stories with my friends,
To singing in my room late at night
Just because it made me feel good,
To feeling I could do anything,
To being young.

We know them through their work.
Their work will always be here.
So we'll always remember them
And how they made us feel.
