That is why it's called the present...

Why don't you just move on?
A question i frequently hear.
What does it mean to move on?

Everyone tells me i should be out there seeing guys,
Finding someone new,
But what's the point?

I sit back as i watch the world that surrounds me.
Everywhere i look i see children,
But they don't act like children.
People these day's grow up far too quickly,
Well they think that they're growing up anyways...
Children trying to act like adults is just fictional.
Are they really growing up too quickly,
Or just acting like they do?
Sure, they wear make-up, fall inlove, go to parties, etc etc.
But is that really growing up?
I always thought of "growing up" as being mature.
Instead of whining like a child,
Grown up's talk in a decent and composed manner.
Instead of throwing around the word love like it has no meaning,
Grown up's show their love and understand that its not just a four-letter word.
Instead of stacking on the make-up in attempt to increase their age,
Grown up's use it to decrease they're age because they'll never return to their youth.
Instead of racing through time by drinking and partying,
Grown up's take time to embrace what they have before it's all gone.
Instead of taking drugs to escape problems,
Grown up's work things out without resorting to such pointless things.
Our generation are so misguided with false pretenses.
We race time as if we'll die without living a full life.
Of course, no one is guaranteed a tomorrow,
But that doesn't give us an excuse to waste away our youth, right?
So why should i be in such a rush to be in a relationship that probably will last as long as a blink of an eye?
I don't want to be the type of person who takes people forgranted,
But i am...
I don't want to be the type to just date anyone for the sake of dating,
And i'm not.
I don't want to be the type of person who tries soo hard to prove that they're not a child,
Because i am a child.
I don't want to use up my youth,
Because i'll never get it back...
Live for the moment,
Live the happiness while it lasts,
Just don't do anything stupid along the way...
Because what i do now is what sets my future,
And so far it doesn't look so great...
But i'm still a child right?
I can fix this.
I can work towards a better future...
Or perhaps i should work towards a better now...
Yesterday is history,
Tomorrow is a mystery,
But today is a gift...
