When I was young I use to think being an adult was going to be the best thing ever
Couldn't wait to be a grown up and be independent
All the fun possibilities
Nice house, nice car, handsome man. Beautiful wedding.
You know the perfect things
I'm an adult now and I realized sometimes things aren't that simple.
When I was younger
I would believe in Romance
Matter fact, I was a helpless romantic
But now as I'm older I don't know about that anymore
There's just too much sadness
Not enough weddings
Uh...
I'm trying to write as best as I could
But it don't even sound like it make sense
Idk.
Less weddings
The reality is it's almost as if those things are not as I perceived it to be.
I mean it sucks
But that's the truth
Or maybe not idk
I sit here and watch my mom work at a job she hates
But she has to work it to provide for the family
But I mean it sucks seeing that
It sucks seeing stuff like divorce as well.
When families are separated
Idk
Maybe I shouldn't had watch a lot of romance movies growing up lol
Like Cinderella and Mulan
Reading a bunch of cliche Wattpad books
Then turning over to non cliche Wattpad books
Having confusing guy crushes at high school
Never actually dating none of them.
Making a love fan page account
Then outgrowing it
Now to watch an aftermath of a divorce
Or couples being separated
Moreover, I use to not understand some of the r&b songs that would play
I mean I never listened to the lyrics
I would just bump to the melodies
But when I actually listened
Half of them is about breakups
I guess you can say I shifted my perspective of life a little
And got hit by the truth of it
It's not fairytales
It's really not
Or is it?
I never dated anyone to tell
But that's all I can say for now
We need more wedding veils
