putting on an old Beatles record, crashing on my bed. the lights are out, and my blacklight is glowing in the corner of my room. the giant flourescent heart seems to pop out of the wall. and i close my eyes and listen to the melodies and basic lyrics. was everything so simple then? memories swirl around in my head, flashing bits of pictures of you in front of my eyes, until my brain...and my heart...pick one to relive. i smile at the memory they have chosen. it's simple really... you're holding my hand...it's our first date. how awkward we felt, yet excited and full of wonder... what's to come? never did i think we would become what we did. loving, laughing...and crying. one by one memories flood my mind and tears flood my eyes. and i see you looking down at your feet, telling me that we could no longer be because everything had grown too complex... words came too hard and love was too forced. and nothing between us was easy anymore. i wish things hadn't gotten so hard. why'd we try to grow up so fast? turn a love that came so simple and easy into something so difficult. what i would give to go back to when we were two niave children who simply loved eachother. no requirements. no expectations. right now more than anything, i just want to hold your hand.Birth sign: Not entered
