How Long it Will Last

When I was young I used to ask 
The boys in my class 
If they crushed on me 
Since I crushed on them 
The girls and I would sing 
The silly songs of romance 
As if we really knew 
Little dandelions were given to a crush 
Seats were saved in the bus 
But we didn't know 
Same as we don't know now 
How long it will last 

As we grew friends became more defined 
Relationships turned into local trip
And we were home before dark 
Sleepovers were becoming rare 
Rumors between only friends were rampant 
Best friends had your back, girls and boys alike 
Boundaries were pushed then never brought up 
Laughs were shared as were secret smiles 
I'm just glad we waited to see if we were true 
But we didn't know 
Same as we don't know now 
How long it will last 

As adults love is but a fairy tale that is always seen 
Those who were burned leave it to the others 
Those who are blessed take it in stride 
Those who enjoy the moment live love everyday 
Best friends have adventures and no one talks 
Little adult crushes make the world pay attention 
I'll just take it all as it comes and love my life 
Crazy adventures with the more tame excursions 
And just continue letting others be who they are 
For we don't know 
Same as we didn't know then 
How long it will last
