Innocent No More

Nothing is what it is anymore. A point has been reached where everything must be psycho-analyzed. A smirk is no longer a reflection of enjoyment or satisfaction it's an indication of nearly concluding ulterior motives. A giggle is not laughter but rather mockery and fatigue is mistaken for frustration. Why so? Where have our innocence gone?

Innocence helps to preserve the joy in our lives. In fact a lot of the joy and excitement in life thrives on the preservation of innocence. It seems ironic at times how knowing can corrupt enjoyment. It is innocence to not have to think twice all the time or to have to rethink your behavior. Nobody wants to get into the habit of second guessing themselves; to have to deal with the consciousness of right and wrong, moral and immoral with every thing they choose to do, especially when dealing with Love and Romance.

You see, the irony in my idea of innocence is that it is very difficult to maintain. Innocence does help maintain and preserve joy, but experience has the power to kill your innocence. With innocence lost, usually, so is the joy in your experiences, in your life. After having experienced something without achieving the hoped for results you will lose the innocence in your hopeful expectations and therefore corrupt the very thing you desire.

I want so much to get our innocence back. My expression is completely hindered by fear of being misunderstood. I haven't made a motion without wondering how it will be interpreted. How is what I'm about to do going to be received? There is no innocence in this. My heart should be known. Sure there has been some miscommunication in the past, but that hasn't changed me.

Keep your innocence. I plead with you to understand just how important it is for you to not corrupt your intentions, your motives and interactions with each other. Is it possible? Can we grow older and remain innocent? You can if you truly have Love for each other. You must first realize that your mate is not perfect. They will make a mistake. They will mess something up.

Innocence in Love becomes corrupted when we lose sight of the charm we found in each other. We some how become convinced that the other persons behavior is intentional and that they do things to purposefully or carelessly hurt or bother us. We may have even previously known about such behaviors but now somehow lost our tolerance for them. Regardless of origin whether if it was something they did or something we now feel or think our innocence has been corrupted and our patience will quickly run thin.

Don't lose your innocence in one another. Be who you are and Love them for who they are. And you two will grow and mature together. Enjoy each other.
