"You’re 18..."
Translation.....
It will happen...eventually...wait
"You’re 18!!??!!!"
Translation..
You have to be lying..NO WAY....HOW?!?!?
Same concept, different perceptions....
Silence
Thoughts
I sit on my bed, look out of the 8th floor window
a cool autumn breeze,Richmond catches my eye
students rushing to class, some strolling along,
couples
I don’t understand how many of the things I watch work
How does it feel to have your hand held so lovingly
To be in someone’s embrace , to feel safe
I mean.....how does it feel to be in love
Then my thoughts slightly switch.
A slight annoyance toward too many english class discussions over the years, on the same topic...love.
It seems to just frustrate me that it is assumed that by this age we’ve all known its effects and consequences
I don’t
I don’t know how it is to blush whenever you look him in the eyes ..well...not a boyfriend’s eyes
To know that "your in love" as they all describe....atleast not with someone feeling it back
To have a heart torn by a past love......well....not by someone knowing what they were doing
Switch, Stare into the soft sky
I wonder if maybe it was my fault
I let it just pass buy
let the experience of growing up be ignored
I was always "too young" to get upset
"too young"to worry about having a relationship
"too young" to like him
but what about now?
I’m suppose to already know all these things, correct?
I watched others make their mistakes, and I guess some would say it was an advantage I never experienced those "feelings"
But what sense does that make if the feelings are bound to occur, just now.....I am naive
I’m "too old" to have a first kiss, "too old" to have an elementary crush, just "too old" in general
How could one or two years make such a difference
I sit here, once again wondering, what if it was different
what if one mistake from past had been corrected?
What if I would’ve have ....
That’s stupid to think of. Right?
The consequences of what did happen could’v been from just any ...
I mean, did that one experience really make me this bitter?
Make me always screw up something that could be forming by suddenly degressing to that scared little girl..
Did that one experience make me scared to even let others see my true feelings?
So scared to know I missed out on it
What is "it" you ask?
First kiss, first date, homecoming, prom..name it
all experiences people grow treasuring were just never there
All the things ....
....was it all my fault?
Staring at the ground
never speaking, mumbling
trying to make myself an outcast, all subconsciously I guess
Was it?
Maybe it was my dreams, determination
Switch
Well it couldn’t have been determination now could it.
You’re just as determined, just in another field.
Maybe that was it, we were both such big dreamers...
No...that can be it either......
Ack, off topic......
Once again. This is silly
I’ll just stop writing
thinking
maybe
then....
