when you over think

all you are doing is making you sick to your stomach.

this cute boy with dreads makes me get the butterflies 

&

sometimes i wish i had the guts to say hi.

you never know what could 

happen with just a 

simple

HELLO.

do you remember when... 

cutting meant cutting in front of someone in the lunch line
[not taking a knife to your wrists]
hate meant someone stole your cookie
[not forever losing a friend]
love was meant for moms and dads
[not for boys]
boys all had cooties
[not good looks]
makeup was for Halloween and Mommy
[not to cover your face]
not eating meant you were sick
[not anorexic]
babies came from the store
[not sex]
stress didn't exist
[now it's the only thing that does]

life changes through the years . we learn. we make mistakes. we laugh. we cry. we make love. we want to give up. we stress. we over think. we live. with. no regrets.

yes; you can call me elles
