For the 8 year old me, love was
A secret between my mom and dad
It was all about becoming one of them
For the 18 year old me,
It is a nightmare
No one would know what it is
It remains a mystery.
The 18 year olds i see make love for fun
For the 60 year old me,
It's peace
It's my home
It's a place in those hands
Where i can leap and die
