Afraid.

I titled the poem Afraid because my greatest fear, a fear we might all share..is to be alone..

I'm tired of being alone,
I know I'm young..
But what does age matter?
I may be young,
but years from now I might still be alone..
I don't know, you don't know.
No one knows.

I want to mean something to someone,
To be loved, and love back.
I know this may seem like much to ask for,
from a 14 year old girl..

But time flies,
love is different at this age vs.
when I'm 30.

I want to experience love while I'm young,
to know there may be someone like me..
That I'm not alone, or weird..
Do you understand, or am I once again Alone on this one?

I want to be told I love you,
and be able to say it back.
I'd like them to mean it for once,
because I know I'll mean it..
How do I know?
It's something you just know.
At this age everyone says love isn't real,
that you won't experience that until your older.

That's a lie.
We do experience love,
just a different way then you may explain it to us.
We experience young love,
yes it may not last...
It's not healthy to believe it will,
or to put to much emotion into young love..

Yet we all know we want to experience it,
young love is different.
It's something you can only experience for a short time..
And I feel my time is running out.

I'm only 14, yes.
But soon to be 15.
Time will pass me by,
before I know it I'll be old.

I don't ask for much,
just one good relationship..
With someone who's almost like me,
so then I can know..
I'm not as alone in this world as I feel..

Love is different I guess (from 14 to 30). Now, I'm only 18years old, but I can tell that. You penned your emotions in a beautiful write, one that hooks the reader up. I enjoyed it. There's only one thing I can say.. Let things fall into place. Don't look for love, cause you won't find it. Live life, have a good laugh with friends, hang out, do crazy s**t that you don't see yourself doing. Well now it's the time. When are you gonna do it? When you're thirty? ..And while doing all that stuff, you don't look for love. Then you can say, I wasn't looking when I stumbled onto you. It must have been faith.. and that's just the most beautiful thing we'll ever learn. Amazing write. =)

This is really great.
Kids do feel legitimate feelings of love, it's just that we're changing so fast, we get bored of this love too quickly.
But don't worry, you'll find someone soon enough, who is perfect for you.
And also, sometimes being in a relationship is 10x harder than you'd ever think. You might find out that the whole time you've liked a person, you've just been letting your fantasies control you. In reality, you have to talk to them all the time and you must REALLY get to know them.
And sometimes, you might just realize that you don't even like them all that much after all, and 90% of the reason you liked them in the first place was because of just a few fantasies you had about them. You can't just dive into a relationship and excpect it to be all lovey-dovey.

P.S. Don't LOOK for love.

The best things happen when you least expect them. ;)

Yes, it IS different between this age and when you're 30. When you're 30 it's going to be REAL. Right now, you're young. You're going to be loved. Just build on who you are. LEARN WHO YOU ARE. It takes years. And if you throw yourself into romance and let it overtake you than you'll never figure out who you are without it. You have A LOT to learn...

Remember one thing: If you do not have a plan for yourself you will fall into someone elses... and do you know what they have planned for you? Nothing.

Plan, learn, grow.
Let love find you.
It will... when the time is right.
