i want to be 8 years old again. i want it to be summer. i want to stay outside untill the streetlights come on and catch fireflys with the boy next door and my brother. i want to go back to when we thought it was a big deal to be able to ride bikes or roller skate around the block...instead of having to have one of our mothers watch us do circles only on the street in front of our houses. i want to go back to a time when my biggest concern was where the best hidding spot was when we played hide and seek.
i grew up too fast. the boy next door moved away and i have only seen him 3 times since. my best friend, who i spent every day with, i dont even talk to anymore....half the time i forget she lives across the street. watching the street lights come on doesnt mean anything to me now except that i have to use the headlights if i'm driving. i stopped catching fireflys. christmas eve is now just another night for me, nothing magical about it. santa clause is just some fat guy who works at the mall and hands out candy canes.
when i was in junior high i was in such a rush to grow up....and now? now all i want to do is be a little kid again.
