The girl in me fell in love
with the boy in you.
All she wanted to do was to tend to
all of your needs and
all of your whims.
To kiss away all of your aches
everytime you scrape your knee
or whenever you beat up another kid
for picking on her.
She just wanted to hold your hand
while you cross that swaying bridge
above the river,
pretending to be brave
enough to take you up on your dare
eventhough she knows that you did
it all on purpose,
just so she'd reach out for you.
She fell in love with you then,
and she's still in love with you now.
The only thing is,
a part of her grew into this woman
who learned how to be cautious enough
with every step she takes
because she saw how life can sometimes
be too cruel even for the ones
who deserve something better.
And it's her who admits cowardice,
from falling in love with
everything of you.
