just a boy

"Time, time, time, time, time
Won't leave me as I am
But time won't take the boy out of this man"

a friend of mine once said that guys would want to stay as boys forever. and i am no exception to this. i am just a boy after all the years of trying to outgrow it. i guess it's better this way. no expectations and no pressure acting like a grown up, of living it up being a "man". it frees you, not worrying what others would think, you just live each day with whatever you have, granted that you still keep your eyes, heart and mind open all the time.

then you'll never know, one day another soul would say to you that you did it, that you shine in your own skin. like when this friend said to me that i've become more than a man to her. she found her wonderwall in me, and me too, i've thought of her as probably the one that would save me from myself and from this world.

life indeed is full of ironies! in order to be a man i have to accept the fact that i am still a boy deep within. and in order to fully live a life, i have to trust that little voice in my heart.
