The eyes of a teenager


How did we get here?  What DID we do wrong?  How can we fix it?  I don’t remember much.  I can’t figure it out.  I remember having you by my side.  We had a great time, a great day.  And now?  Now we’re here separated from each other.  In a place we’re not meant to be.  Sure we try to talk.  We try to be sneaky and talk.  But it’s hard it’s difficult.  I understand we broke their trust.  We just threw it all away.  We worked so hard for it.  We worked so hard.  But what is it that we did wrong?  We didn’t commit murder.  We didn’t do drugs.  We didn’t drink and drive.  Why is this so wrong?  We broke their trust, I repeat.  Yes, that’s very important.  Without trust, there is no relationship.  So now you’re there.  I’m here.  We’re both wondering what we did to deserve this.  And now it becomes clearer.  In our eyes.  In the eye of a teenager, we didn’t do much wrong.  But parents?  They aren’t teens anymore.  Yes, they once were.  But not anymore.  Not anymore.  So yeah, in their eyes we did something terribly wrong.  And unfortunately, we need to take it from there.  We need to take it from their eyes.  Look at things how they look at it.  And in away, say goodbye to the teens years.  We must grow up.  We must show them we care.  Because we care.  I can see it in your eyes.  Every time we get a chance to Skype or see each other somehow. I see it in your eyes.  They aren’t just the green eyes I'm used to see everyday.  They are much more than that.  They look for answers.  They look for someone to say everything will be okay.  And everything will be okay.   The question here is how, and what path to take.  Give up?  Sure, that would be the easiest way out.  Just say sorry and leave.  That’d work out for both of us.  I will not be sad anymore, and you wont have problems with your parents anymore.  I asked myself many times.  Is it really worth it?  After all, she is leaving for school next year and we’ll be faraway.  Why not just, leave?  And here is the answer:  I can’t just leave.  I just can’t.  Because more than my girlfriend, you’re my best friend.  You’re the only one who understands me.  The only one who feels the same things I feel.  Thinks the same things I think about.  The only one who loves me for who I am.  This is why I will not leave.  This is why taking the harder why is the best solution here. I don’t want to do this all over again.  I don’t want to wait for someone else.  Simply because I have you.  We have each other.  That’s why I’m still here.  Because if I can’t do this, then what can I do?  What can I go through?  We both need to show each other how strong we can be.  How strong love can be.  This is it.  If we’re meant to be (yeah we’re young, but why not?), this will work out.  We will do the best we can to stay together.  And we will.  We will end up together.  I can tell.  I can see it in us.  So doesn’t matter what happens, I’m here, as you are there for me.  And I love that in us.  I love that doesn’t matter what, we are there for each other.  Sure it will be hard, it will hurt.  But I rather suffer with you than be miserable without you.
