Not a Little Girl Anymore

When we met I was young, naive, and innocent.
           My sense of reality was distorted. I thought love was all happiness and 
laughter.
                   I felt passionate feelings no fourteen year old should be feeling.
                I should have kept simple things on my mind, like being a little girl.
                          When it came to my thoughts you overruled.
        I thought we should be like the movies, I was dilusional and clueless.
                     I had alot to learn, alot of bridges to burn.
   I learned these lessons as the years went past and our relationship didn't last.
          We were only together a short time but your lessons I kept in mind.
   Now I am twenty and still I love you so, but now there are things I also know.
   Love is not a movie, a book, or a song. Love is a learning that takes life long.
