Just My Perspective...

Musings of a Small Town Girl

____ only kissed _____ on the mouth because _____ ______ told him to do it.

I only had an inkling of  the want to kiss him on the mouth because

he gave me the idea to think it. 

Then the thought began to consume my mind

And it became more than just about a kiss

And more about…

Just something more. 

I giggled at some of the thoughts; I think I set myself

Up for disappointment. 

Why do we do that to ourselves?

Fill our heads with unattainable,

Unrealistic expectations that will be our downfall.

Then I thought about the things that I once had,

And I remembered what it was like to feel that way. 

The way you’re so happy you think that you could burst. 

Those aren’t bad thoughts at all. 

But they’re not exactly what should be occupying my mind. 

Or are they?

There’s a funny fine line between growing up

And then being grown up. 

Where does one end and where does the other begin? 

Oh, the things that cross my mind.
