I was dating and meeting men left and right
I was wearing lip stick and cute shirts
I grew my hair out and learned a lot of social skills
But none of that was ever enough.

My friends kept telling me to hold out hope
My mother kept telling me to just give it time
My grandmother told me to wait until I was older
But I wanted to throw in the towel.

One day, I decided to relax
One day, I decided to be me and forget what others thought of me
One day, I decided to read a lot of books and study
But then He walked into the room.

I was speechless...

This gives me mixed emotions as I consider my own 16-year-old daughter and her current boyfriend . . . she's in special education and will never have an intelligence beyond that of an elementary school age kid and yet she's deeply affected by her own teenage emotions, too.
