I used to be next to you
Spending the nights together,talking about what we will do when we grow up
How we will look,how we will act
You were eager to trade your sneakers and flats with high heels
Makeup fascinated you..I didn't know how to tell you that's not called "growing up"
I was supposed to tell you how,I was supposed to teach you
Because..after all I'm older than you..and you've said you will always come to me for an advice,right?
What happened? How did you become like this?
It hurts me,it's my fault for not being there
For not being the one to tell you that you are already beautiful. You don't need a lipstick nor an eyeliner!
I remember how you used to scold and pout if we don't tell you what we were talking about
You still think we had (have) secrets and wouldn't share it with you
Have you ever thought that we didn't tell you cause we wanted you to enjoy your childhood,your days as a teenager!?
How could one year change you ? it's only one year
I left you for one year,and now we barely talk
You don't listen to me like before..you think you've grown up,you think you are mature enough now
You think that's it,now you can do everything you ever wanted
I just wished that one day you will know that no one is always right...that aging doesn't give you wisdom
Getting older isn't like some ultimate excuse to do everything you want anytime you want
We will always make mistakes,we will always fall.Why? 'cause sweetie,no one stops learning. No one stops accepting others' help,but you already did..
Act your age..stop this stop being stubborn for once..cause it's not a "cool" thing.
People who care about you will always want/do what's the best for you,listen to them.
That's the thing. :)
