I must say Pennie, that i totally see in what you say here. But no, you cant keep your heart from loving someone, in that case its your heart who decides, not you (for as far as i know)
And yes; its a shame that those beautyfull times have gone away (kinda of a shame i wasnt born in those years)
When I was little, thirteen-year-old girls played with dolls and thirteen-year-old boys played with toy cars. Why do you have such a desire to grow up now? Life is hard, short, and sometimes cruel. Why do you want to shorten childhood and adolescence? Talk about love at thirteen? I never thought of that. Times have changed. For better or worse? Posterity will decide.
