Adult's Lies

Too young? Bah

Why do people say

"You're too young to be in love"

"You don't know what love is"

Why?

Love isn't something with rules

Not a game

No instructions

Who are you to tell me

What I feel or don't feel

Just because it didn't happen 

Or went wrong for you

Doesn't mean 

It's not real for me

It's so real

I know what love is

I can't make you understand

Because I would be saying words

That you don't know

It's not something I can explain to you

It's a huge feeling

A consuming emotion

That fills my entire being

Because you're telling me

I don't know what love is

Because I am young

I guess

You haven't felt

The excited, painful, intense

Racing of your hear

A sense of home in one person

A feeling of fullness

Accomplishment

Certainty

Just because you're not certain

Or even if you are

You can't tell me not to feel

You can't

I won't let you

I just don't understand

How am I supposed to be happy

When you want

To take away

The source of my joy?

how we ever survived the warnings of our inevitable mistakes is beyond the comprehension level of those that always seem to know better ... really?

you have struck a nerve with your words so true
