So much I didn't understand back then.
I didn't know the power of passion.
I didn't know the pressure of fashion.
The magic of the moment swept me a way.
Somehow he knew just what to say.
It started out so small!
But he slowly took it all.
He spoke of love and pleasure,
Blindly I gave away my treasure.
O, it was good for a while.
Every thought of him made me smile.
But I was soon left alone,
Without the treasure I used to own.
The choices I'd made...
The terrible price I paid...
Please don't make my same mistake,
Don't mistake true love for fake.
Who I wish that I'd been strong,
Perhaps then it would not be gone.
But as it stands, the only thing I can do,
Is warn and plead with you!
Please, please be strong!
You don't want to know the feelings that come when it's gone.
