the way i love you
is the way teens love each other
watching you laugh
makes me forget
that i have a test tomorrow
and that my essay
is due next week
holding your hand
causes a spark
to travel up my arm and settle in my heart
wondering if you feel it too
or if this is just
what you do
with all your friends
i can only love you as much
as my years will allow
but it flows from me
directly to you
none of the bullshit of
having a list of people to check
and see if they'll date you
it's pure
and young
and a mess once it reaches your ears
and you say
"i don't think of you like that"
and maybe my heart breaks a little
but this is the way i love you
the way teens love each other
and i know i haven't poured
my whole being into you
because we're young
and i don't have much to give
i know i will mend
maybe quickly
most likely; quickly
it doesn't mean
i didn't love you
