How?

How?

A Poem by Elly
"

Just today, (1 May, 2011) I've been dealing with criticism from my mom about who I see and she's trying to interrogate me about the person I'm dating now..

"
how?
how can you say that you
know what's best for me?
how can you stand there and
tell me that I'm too young to fall in love?
how can you?
you know nothing.

you've been single most of your
life.
how do you know what true love is?
you don't.
you can't.
you don't know about the pain
I've been through,
the pain that brought me to him.

he
is the one.
he
is the best thing that's ever
happened to me.
how can you even dare
to try and take him away from me?

true,
you don't know for sure about
where I stand with him.
but you have an idea.
you saw the picture..
you read the journal
entry.

I don't
understand how
you can stand there
and try to take away the person
that truly makes me happy. 

you have no right to do that.
I am more than old enough
now to
make
my
own 
decisions.
yet, 
you still try to make them 
for me.

does it make you happy
to see me so miserable and torn up?
while you sit there in the living room,
watching television,
I lay on my bed,
crying, and panicking. 

you don't know how
much I love him.
you never will
until you meet him 
and accept him the way
I have.

you don't know
how happy I am
with him;
how happy he is 
with me.

this is not just
teenage hormones;
this is real.
the love is there,
and it's real.
we want
to spend our lives
together.

can't you understand that?

everyone looks for 
The One.
I've just happened to find the One 
for me
now.
