definition of love at age 14

love is when 

he comes over to your house at midnight because its raining 

just to kiss you

even though your mom said no, and his mom said no too

because he knows you love it when it happens in movies

and he also knows that rain is an almost unheard of phenomenon 

in this god forsaken desert we live in.

love is when your birthday and valentines day are only 2 days apart 

but he sill buys you things for each separate day

ad celebrates with you like they were on opposite ends of the year.

love is when you can talk about tampons i front of him ad hes not even weirded out

like at all.

love is when he tells you to trust him with your body oh god

love is the feeling of you and him

your two bodies

becoming one for what feels like a split second.

that, that is love i 

know 

it  must be love...

right?

love must be when he doesn't text you when you're home sick from school...

because hes busy with his...

high school...

love is when you see him in the mornings

but he doesn't envelope you in his cuffed-flannel arms like he used to

right, it..it must be

love has to be when he hasn't kissed you for four days

even when he sits next to you when you ride home with him on the bus 

even when you're crying next to him on the bus

he doesn't ask why

he doesn't eve touch you

but that's got to be love...

it has to be love

because he said he loved me...

ad its impossible to lie about that...

because he loved me...

and he'd never do anything 

to hurt me.
