Gone or Vanished?

Hey hey!!! Here's a little something for y'all!

Those times when I was young,
Cherished the moments I did not.

Now time has flown away,
So does my age.

Stay young forever I do not,
Age day by day, I do.

Times of joy I should have cherished,
Vanished as memories.

Gone to my heart,
To my mind it has.

Those times were great,
Treasured it I should have.

Now it's too late,
But future awaits.

A/N: Wonderful isn't it?! I just made that up.. Muahaha ^_^
