bring back the little in me

waiting to grow up.

to travel the world,

to fall in love,

to be free,

but,

you have to wait. 

you wake up

and here it is.

you're grown up,

but it's different,

different than you thought.

you aren't in love,

you aren't traveling,

you aren't quite free.

you have things to do.

and suddenly, you want it back.

you want back the innocence,

and the wonder,

and the curiosity.

real life: growing up is no fun.
