New Love

I wrote this semi for my boyfriend and semi for me. I realized that there is a such thing as teenage love. It's not real love or completely true but still it exists which is more than I knew.

 

My head swarms with thoughts

My heart with ideas.

My lips curl into a smile

Because you’re no longer on trial.

I decide to keep you around

I don’t know for how long

But I don’t want to give this up

you’re a buddy and a beau all in one cup.

I have so much fun

When we play friends

But I still like to flirt

And calling you mine doesn’t hurt.

Somehow you know our lines

And my boundaries you don’t cross

I love that you don’t even test them

So I feel no pressure with him.

But now the longer I stay with you

My hearts direction has changed

My happiness is yours to maintain

And my heart hangs on your chain.

Your presence makes me smile

And somehow you always make me laugh

With you time speeds up and flies away

Leaving me finding more ways to stay.

I remember that first kiss

Before you claimed me as yours

Now I scheme for moments private

Just to feel my heart flutter a bit.

It’s funny how you still make my heart race

How butterflies swarm my head and stomach

As quickly as when I remember

That simple moments hinder.

I close my eyes and see you

I can see future moments we share

However I don’t see forever when I look in your eyes

But thinking of an end brings grey skies.

I don’t know if love exists for 15

Or how quickly lust can summon it

But I do know how things go fast and slow

And that my love is as pure as snow.

So if love exists for you and me

I hope it shows in our eyes so the other can see.

though you are young I can see that you are older in thought, you are wise beyond your years though how much I cant tell. Young love, whether real or not is still there and many experience it with or without expectations of the future. Some are lucky to find it and others arent. yet there are some who refuse love for fear of hurt and loss. And I'm begining to think that the reason that is is because of teenage love. I'm not saying that its bad but at least now I think I found a new piece to the puzzle. Thank you, this poem has been very helpful to me.

I really enjoyed reading this, Kait. I think many of my friends begin relationships perhaps not believing that it will last forever, but still not thinking about the fact that it will end. It shows wisdom in this poem, but you dont let that keep you from enjoying the moment and taking advantage of the time you have in the present. Always enjoy being around those people who make you feel this way. And thank you for sharing this piece of your thoughts with us! :)
