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.
