When I Was a Kid..

When I was a kid... we had imaginations. Anything was possible in our eyes. The sky was the limit. We could touch the stars, and fly like eagles. But I never learned.. that the real world can being you down in a matter of seconds. When I was a kid... we would fall off our bikes, and then jump rightback on and try again. Without fear, or pain. But I never learned... that love is not like a bike. It's much harder to try again. When I was a kid... we thought boys had cooties. But I never learned... that one day we would fall in love with a cootie infested boy and he would break my heart.

Here's the secret: men have cooties too. Until they dont.
