Immaturity

(Note: yes, this is in song form.)

Long ago, when I met you,
I didn’t know what I’d go through.
I just thought you’d be my friend.
Truth never caught on till the end
When my cheeks were turning red,
My knees were weak, and I had fled.
In love I fell, just so badly,
And it was hell because sadly
I knew you’d never reciprocate...

My hands on your shoulders, adding to the weight.
And because we’re older, now it’s just too late.
To say another word would make this all too serious.
I don’t care what you’ve heard; I’d rather be mysterious.
Yes, I am too selfish, but I cannot help it.
This heart isn’t sure it’s free...from its immaturity.

Here we are, we’re not talking.
Your heart’s so far; I’ll keep walking.
They tell me to let you go.
I’m too clingy; I know it shows.
And I still remember your
Sweet laugh; it fills my heart and soars.
Please come here, childhood friend.
I’ll hold you dear until the end...
I’m just hoping it’s not too late...

My hands on your shoulders, adding to the weight.
And because we’re older, now it’s just too late.
To say another word would make this all too serious.
I don’t care what you’ve heard; I’d rather be mysterious.
Yes, I am too selfish, but I cannot help it.
This heart isn’t sure it’s free...from its immaturity.

Right now I want to just disregard your feelings
And drag them through the dust, ‘cause my mind’s still reeling
From the last time I had ever talked to you...
It’s time for me to move along
And end this song.

My hands on your shoulders, adding to the weight.
And because we’re older, now it’s just too late.
To say another word would make this all too serious.
I don’t care what you’ve heard; I’d rather be mysterious.
Yes, I am too selfish, but I cannot help it.
This heart isn’t sure it’s free...from its immaturity.

To say another word
Would make this all too serious.
