What is Teenage Love?

by Alliey May   Oct 22, 2008


It's staying up late for each other & barely staying awake in class
the next day. It's passing each other between classes & stopping
to say Hi, but ending up running to your next class right before
the bell rings. It's going to the mall, wandering around hand in
hand with a silence that's comfortable. It's watching a movie in
the theaters with his arm slowly creeping onto your shoulders &
you resting your head in his arms. It's walking around at night,
for no reason at all; his chest, her head, looking at the stars. It's
uncertainty of how long it will last, a risk you're both willing to
take, even if it means you'll have a broken heart. It's not yet true
love, not like, nor lust, nor infatuation. It's teenage love, here to
stay, here to play with our hearts & never go away.

    To say that didn't touch me would be a lie. If you truly think about it this poem is true. Teenage love isn't true love, not lust either. It's an entire different entiry. And your poem shows that it is a truely special thing. The late night talks on the phone. Going to see them in the hall for just a minute because that one minute is more than enough to make you happy. And no matter how much you may hurt inside, you'll always be there holding their hand, wiping their tears, because teenage love. Is a pretty damn strange thing but it is something that we may never experience again. Thanks for the great poem.
