Teenager In "ℓ๏˅€"

A Poem by Riley Bray
"

We'll see.

"
Seeing him for the first time,
Forcing you to do a double take
As your heart skips a beat or two
And a wave of delicious nausea comes, 
Fast approaching.
The sound of his name like
The perfect lyric
Imagined sung by the purest white angel
As it descends, 
And speaks with his velvet voice.

Everything else turns into static white noise.

As you fall asleep,
His face remains imprinted on your eyelids,
Stuck fast to your mind,
As dreams of him trickle inside.
Yearning for his hands, his lips, his words
To fall into yours, 
And your bodies to connect in a sweaty embrace.
You fantasize about a future, maybe
And awaken simply to etch is features into a diary
Envisioning in the sky two flawless white doves.

Teenager in love.

Speaking to him is
By far your most commendable feat,
And to see him smile is 
To be granted a new sun.
His eyes deep and soulful,
Body chiseled and created specifically for yours.
Such a beautiful man,
For such a humble girl.
Cliche's become a conscious reality,
Wanted and welcomed and revered by jealous friends.

But, especially as a teenager, all good things must end.

Distance and maturity 
Choose to stand opposing you,
And you grow to realize
That lust is not love
And love is not an emotion
Someone so inexperienced can produce.
You awaken from the dream
You lived in for however long
And realize, that you were dead wrong,
And not for the first time, you're exposed.

Teenager in love.
Teenager in love.
So it seems
Love is a lie
At the age
Of immaturity.
It hides in infatuation
And dies in the midst
Of intense frustration
With the other.
Teenager in love.
Teenager lusting.
Teenager lied to.
Teenagers End.
