Gone with the fairytales I believed in
The sparkles of my unfiltered joy.
Something else lies here now
It doesn't stop me,
Yet I'm not rushing, not rushing.
Gone with the lessons learned
The thrill of not knowing.
Surprises are still delightful
But have become harder to happen.
Blame me for blaming the stranger in town
It's a new face, a new smile
I haven't seen before.
Excuse me for taking a deep breath
I had to plunge into the water, to meet the stranger.
Couldn't help but wonder where she came from,
How she found me the same way he found you.
Couldn't help but wonder why she did it,
Why we do it and why we don't,
Why do we grow up?
