I am four foot ten
"But you are still growing"
But I have to question if
I really want to
(Growing up is hard)

I've made stupid mistakes
"Your brain is still growing"
Maybe I like my dumb bravado
Please don't make me face off
the truth of reality

What about my heart?
"You are much too young
to know what love is"
But I'm old enough
to know my heart beat
(and who it beats for)

Physically I am
seventeen
Mentally I feel
thirty-three
So explain to me
what is age?
(The concept of age
is just a number)

If I must grow old
can I keep you by my side?
I hope you don't mind
my short height
(and my stupid bravado)

Will you grow with me?
I'm too young too know
how long we will last
But I'm old enough to know
That my young heart want you now

(and my old heart wants you forever)
for chere
