I love this Jane! It's a sad truth, but the rhyming a cadence make it fun to read. Duality is everywhere, but in my mind I am still young 🤣🥰

Weren’t we just young? I feel this deeper than my bones - like I feel it in my DNA.

Once those shoulders go bad, there's no turning back. The additional "new" pains are what makes me feel old(er).

In a way it is romantic Jane , shows the love you have for each other . Passing and ice pack can be as romantic as going to dinner or a concert . The love you two have shows and is very romantic .
