Seeing photos of you still makes my heart sink, Not because of what I used to have with you, Not because our time is over, and we both have moved on. My heart sinks, because I’m growing up. Seeing you reminds me of younger self, Shes someone I don’t see very often anymore. I’m becoming who I am meant to be Growing up, moving on, it’s scary. I’m scared. I feel alone. Sometimes I don’t mind, but other times I need someone to hold me Tell me who I’m becoming is strong, beautiful, that what I am feeling is right. Someone to tell me everything will be all right. My heart sinks. I’ve lost the innocence, What if my curiosity and imagination go with it? I never make decisions with my heart anymore, My brain controls me, I’m chained by its wants and needs. No one ever told me growing older would feel this way Does it have to be this way? It shouldn’t be this way I wont let it be this way.
