When I was a kid...
we had imaginations.
Anything was possible in our eyes.
The sky was the limit.
We could touch the stars,
and fly like eagles.
But I never learned..
that the real world can being you down
in a matter of seconds.
When I was a kid...
we would fall off our bikes,
and then jump rightback on and try again.
Without fear, or pain.
But I never learned...
that love is not like a bike.
It's much harder to try again.
When I was a kid...
we thought boys had cooties.
But I never learned...
that one day we would fall in love
with a cootie infested boy
and he would break my heart.

| I really enjoyed this. Though I am a guy and cannot relate to cootie infested boys I certainly relate this situation to cootie related girls :). |

cooties ... I'm sorry, but that part made me laugh even though this piece is got melancholy written all over it. That last stanza just about breaks me. This is a wonderful piece of nostalgia with a twist of heart ache stirred in. Your readers don't stand a chance. :sigh:
excellent post!
