When we were just a couple of feet tall,
We had nothing to conceal;
Except for a few candies
When we had no such truths to hide
Except for playing on swings and slide
Our parents could see through our minds
As clearly as the snowflakes glide.
And as a couple of feet got added to us
The candies changed into something suspicious
We got those tiny wings of fake wisdom
That we flapped flapped flapped
How eager were we to grow up into the adulthood trap;
And then when we grew up even taller
We thought the world was shrinking shorter
The snowflakes blurred out
The clouds were not of rains but of doubts
When those misty films of lies entered between us and them
And the parents with whom we would share every bit that happened at school,
Now hiding just the nasty bits that we feel ain't cool.
Was it the glimpse of adolescence that I got,
Or just the puberty hit me hard?
Well, truth is that,
Just age played it's game
But the love, it never changed
