Coming of age

You watch american movies
And read lifestyle magazines
Chick lit full of etiquette tips
And think that is how the world is

You begin to believe
That if you are polite and nice
And in the company of polite and nice people
Who will ask you about your day
Remember what you like to eat
Open the car door for you
Bring you flowers
You will be happy
There should be nothing more you can ask for

Until someone comes along
Who touches the very citadels of your being
Rocks your soul
Makes your entire existence worthwhile
Just by his being in the world

And in one moment,
Shatters the illusive world you built
To smithereens
