Teen 'Love'
Ever since I was a kid,
I’ve always wondered what it would feel like
to love, and be loved.
That was something my parents never taught me.
But then I met you.
A quick glance was all it took for me,
but apparently it wasn’t for you.
Maybe, I was chasing after an empty word.
What a dangerous thing it is,
being deeply and terribly in ‘love’
with the idea of you.
No chance to play this out.
But ‘being young and dipped in folly’,
letting an all-consuming ‘love’
travel through your veins,
letting the experience inspire you; change you.
Wide eyed, naive;
ready to love, ready to hurt;
diving off with no clue
of what lies beneath;
Isn’t it the time for that?
