I remember believing that I would stay friends with all the others in my class when i was four.
I remember speaking some made-up language in the streets with Mathilde.
I remember the way I used to play with her, the way she used to constantly laugh with me.
I remember the patience it took my mom to stand me and my brothers.
I remember screaming to get a tenth goodnight kiss from my parents.
I remember the little it took to have fun then.
I remember trying to write books about princesses that didn't make any sence at all.
I remember feeling supprised when all the other kids were crying the first day of CP while I, was so excited.
I remember loving to watch stupid cartoons.
I remember the envy I felt everytime I saw a point Ballet shoe.
I remember asking other girls "do you want to be my friend" as soon as I met them.
I remember playing for hours in my bedroom.
I remmeber how proud I was when I got my first pair of glasses.
I remember listening to Lorie and singing along all the lyrics.
I remember dreaming of getting my ears pierced.
I remember wanting absolutely everything that was in the toy catalog for Christmas.
But now,
I have to worry about everything that just wasn't important at the time,
I have to always face the truth and realize that my friends won't stay with me forever,
I had to move to Princeton and learn another real language,
I have to see how much she suffers evryday and how much it hurts me to see her like this,
I have to stand my mom who gets less patient as the time goes by,
It feels that getting a kiss form my parents has become embarassing,
It seems the only way for teens to have fun is to drink or smoke,
I realize how hard it is now to write something that makes sence,
I see how everyone including me hates to wake up to go to school,
I see how all new cartoons are horribly boring and stupid,
I realize that wearing points isn't all magical,
I realize how hard it is to find true friends,
I realize how everything is getting virtual,
I realize that wearing glasses is restricting,
I realize that even now how pathetic it is that I still remember all the lyrics from Lorie's songs,
I realize now that my ears are pierced, i dont even wear earings,
And now, every Christmas, I dont even know what I would want to have
Because, seriously
Out of all the things that we can find, none will ever be able to bring me back to the time that I remember
When everything just seemed so perfect.
