i don't think leaving is as easy as you made it seem.
because that is what i am doing right now, and it hurts.
my sister cries like i did. and my dad just makes that almost disappointed face,
they say growing up is good and natural.
but i am wendy when all i have ever wanted was to be peter.
i'm wendy, growing up to pay bills and taxes, get married and have a family.
life is handed to me like a five course meal.
plates full of choices that i don't remember making.
plates full of you wills and you shoulds.
soon to be plates full of i could of's and i would of's.
i wanna touch the stars.
i want to fight captain hook.
i want to fight captain hook.
i want tinker bell to have my back forever.
i wanna play with the lost boys.
i want my sisters tears to mean more then just good bye.
i want my dad to make that disappointed face because he is...
but then again, we're all just living in a fairy tail, and those seem to end with a kiss goodnight and goodbye.
