Don't ever tell me that I'm
'too young' to be in love
I'm eighteen
I know what's left and right
I've been around the block a few times
I've read enough romance novels
I've watched my fair share of clichés
And I do dare say that I
Elizabeth Burns
Am In Love
What is it when he fills your thoughts constantly
When you watch him
And you're just filled with such love in your heart
What is it
When you just love to see him speak about his family
You love when be gets a crinkle in his eyes
You love when he smirks at you
As you've made a fool of yourself
Trying to be romantic to run and kiss him goodbye
But you bump your head on his car door in doing so
You love him
You love the way he laughs
You love the way he holds you while you're dancing
Your skin is electric when he merely touches your shoulder
Every kiss he gives
Every hug
Every embrace
I love him on his bad days
I love his cracks, his heartache
I love his good days
I love every part of him
I dare say...
This is love
I have many more coincidences to tell
But just for now
I will say
I am in love
And perhaps some will say
Too young.
