Hey rayheinrich,
when i read this poem it made me feel like you're writing about a person in your past who you felt intimate with and shared the same feelings with. Perhaps another perspective would be the society as whole felt this way, or children who want to grow up and thinking about how great it will be to be adults.

All three work for me; definitely valid interpretations. What's especially good about all three
is they capture the element of loss, of great expectations that have, or probably will be, unfulfilled.
Poems can be such mean little things...  
Thanks for commenting,
