They, I
They say
parting is such sweet sorrow.
I say
Baloney. A lot of sorrow and nothing sweet about it.
They say
You'll get over her. You're just a teenager. Not ready for a serious relationship.
I say
You're not me. Never have been, never will. You don't know what I can handle and what I can't. I don't know until I'm in it, then if I can't handle it, then I back off until I am ready.
They say
Well, you're gonna get hurt.
I say
Then so be it. You can't learn unless you make mistakes, climb over obstacles.
That's what reality actually is: One big obstacle, and on the other side is Eternity.
