Could It Be?

True love... what is it?
I've spent fifteen, almost sixteen

Long years on this planet, not even

Two of those years searching

 

Searching for true love.

Most people don't find it until

They have entered "adulthood"

Could I have found it already?

 

My mother found it with

My father at this same age.

My sister with the man she will

Most likely marry only a year older.

 

Maybe true love at a young age

Happens to run in my family.

It seems the only explanation for

Why I still care about him so.

 

It seems everytime we walk away,

We aren't happy until we come back

To eachother.  It's been this way

For a year now and it still hods true.

 

He understands me better than anyone

Else has ever before... even family.

He knows what upsets me, he knows

What will make me feel better, make me smile.

 

He knows my deep dark secrets,

My shames  that I hide from others

And he still cares for me, still

Waits for me when I need time

 

We're both only human,

We both make mistakes that

Hirt the other one, but that's

Just the fine print of life

 

He might have broken my heart

But he is also the Healer

He vowed to make it up to me

If I were to give him the chance

 

I said no, dated someone else

But when I was missing a hand in mine

It wasn't the new boy's, it was his.

So now I must question myself...

 

True love? No, it's impossible

Is it? Maybe... Are you sure? No.

Love is a mysterious thing...

Could that be what this is?

 

Could it be?

My friend, Cowboy said it best. Don't miss out on young love. Try to keep it alive. If it wanes, then we move on, right? I often wonder if things would have been different if I let romance blossom at a young age. I do know some of these things haunt me to this day...

That's the thing. You never know until you slip into it and make the commitment. True love is not only being with one person throughout your life. It is true. It never lies. It's only pure and sweet and simple. People over complicate love and over think about it way too much.

I hope he is always there for you. Maybe he is your life love. :)

I absolutely loved this piece. The thing about finding love at a young age is you never know if it will last. You're not fully grown up. Meaning you still have time to change and blossom. We usually don't enjoy the same shows we used to when we were 5 years old. That's because we have matured. What we once found amusing and interesting, has turned into something rather outdated. And this can easily happen with finding love at a young age.

Only time will tell, you can find love many times over, the debate over one true love will go on forever... the thing is to live in the hear and know and cherish what you have in order for it to last.
