Young love
You say that I am too young,
and too dumb,
to truly comprehend your understanding of love.
However,
it is you, I believe,
who does not truly understand.
You say young love is naive,
but a fairytale dream,
and that we should wait until our souls start to grey.
And yet,
where is the passion,
and the fire within?
Where is desire,
the joy of being in sin.
And so my older counterparts,
I do not think it is I,
who does not understand,
but you.
and too dumb,

Love is ageless. Infants know unconditional love and understand it from the first moment of life. We forget somewhere along the line. I am 53 and I feel as though I know nothing about love. If you feel it in your heart, you know all there is to know in that moment. Anyone who says you are too young has simply forgotten... or maybe they never knew. There will be times when you will wish for a heart to come along and teach you all over again, to be reminded of something you were so profoundly sure of today...
