When I was a little girl, I loved everybody in the world. And everybody loved me, too. Because I smiled wide, as children do. But I got older and I learned that as time goes by, the tables turn. I walked downstairs and saw the news. The tears and blood made me confused. My eyes then focused and on the screen was a girl my age just trying to scream. The reporter said that she'd be fine, but the word 'raped' was still going through my mind.

And from then on I knew that goodness
was scarce and hard to find
And I knew that hate and cruelty
Lived in the heart of all mankind
I grew up scared and bitter
I let other people be
I could never show yself
I couldn't just be me

And then you walked into my life
Your smile made me start
Your eyes were soft and genuine
And I quickly lost my heart
You told me you'd take care of it
And I believed you, too
And though I used to be so scared
I put my trust in you

The first time that you dropped my heart
You swore you didn't mean to
And if in my life you played no part
I'd have nobody to cling to.

When I was a little girl, I loved everybody in the world. And everybody loved me, too, because I smiled wide, as children do. But now I'm older and so I know, that as time goes by, our small hearts grow. And all we need is a little love to see what our world should be made of. And though bad things do exist, I only need one thing to subsist.

I trust you.
I need you.

I love you.

What was your childhood like? What do you now know that you were naive of before?

I remember being able to get anything I want with a big smile and the correct use of batting my eye lashes directing attention to my big blues... aww, how sometimes I still have that ability on some people... brings back memories of getting out of trouble. But man, the things I was so naive of? A great many, no doubt the complexity of the existence of the universe and our understanding of it that was a real shocker. That naivety lasted until a few years ago, I was sheltered for a long time. I'm still a little naive to the whole of the world. Any road, good job again =D
