How much change..?

I believe in love
I believe it every time I see you
walking by my side
It's something I can't hide

I believe in love
I believe it everytime I hear
your laughter flow with mine

Oh I can see it shine
Like a supernova star
Like a glow worm in a jar
The light is just the same
and love is not a game

So believe in me my friend
And this joy will never end
In a hundred years or two
I'll still be loving you

I believe in ghosts
I believe in Frankenstein the most
and even Halloween
The moon is cheesy green...


Just like thousands or even million other zit-faced kids in the 80s, I fell in love whilst listening to this song (and other songs from the same album as "First Love") by Nikka Costa.
This song was sent to me by Hary today. As I listened to it, I unashamedly admit that it made me cried a little bit. How vast things changed. How I changed. How being a kid, I believed that unconditional love really exists (I guess I owed it to reading too many books for a kid *LOL*). And how now, as an adult, having been bearing too many heartache to endure, too many rejections, too many compromising, has led me to believe that such thing as Unconditional Love and the likes of it is inexistent.
I don't know why I cried.. Is it because the song brings up too many loving childhood memories?
Or is it because how changed I am, from this gleamy eyed kid full of love in his heart, to this resentful, bitter and easily-irritated person when it comes to romance? :)
