thinking of....

Gone

Things seemed big
when I was small.

Gone were the days
of wonderment.
The twirling tutus enticing
me to dance.

Gone were the dreams
of meeting my Prince Charming.
The glass shoe, the pumpkin carriage...
All no more!

Gone were the delusion
of being children forever.
Thumbelina, Pinocchio, me
We have to grow up one day.

When I was small,
Things seemed big.

went to watch The Nutcracker yesterday.. the magical feeling of it diminished over the years.. somehow it's no longer the dance that brings back the memories but the music. tastes change.
