12 VS 20(2)
i'm 20.
she is 12.
being with her is like looking back to where i was before. "too young too naive"
by 20, i know what's porn; by 12, she doesnt know how to make popcorn.
by 20, i know Lword sux; by 12, she doesnt even know what is Lword.
by 20, i know what guys think when they look at girls; by 12, she doesnt even know guys and girls are different.
by 20, i know hard work and success doesnt go hand in hand together always; by 12, she doesnt know the power of "guan xi" (relation. connection? not sure about the translation here)
by 20, i know divorce is merely a form of marriage; by 12, she doesnt know "happily ever after" is merely a wording to trick young kids like her.
by 20, i know friends wont always have my back; by 12, she doesnt know how hurt it'd be to be betrayed by friends.
by 20, i know not every criticism hurts; by 12, she doesnt know it carries hope and love when someone point out the defects.
by 20, i know sometimes good students wont help each other out; by 12, she doesnt know the school rule-followers are usually dumb or coward.
by 20, i know i am the only one to bring myself happiness; by 12, she doesnt know pains are always led by others.
neither did i when i was 12.
it's good to grow up, though suffering from a lot of "growing pain" both physically and mentally. sometimes scars are the best awards we can have.
"will you come?" she txted me just when i was still writing this post.
i smiled, knowing that i'd be still acting as the knight. "sure. "
after all, she is family.
i love you, Helen. however young or naive or selfish you can be. and you know what? even though the whole world doesnt want to be your knight, i would.
