I Don't Believe

I am young,
and I have been
telling myself
that line
for almost the whole time...
I am too young to know
what love is,
who it is
that deserves my love,
and to tell such
a tale that
adults
would scoff at.
I feel as if
no one I have met
could fill the space
that used to be taken,
a person that
would make my heart
feel tender,
but I do not want to fall
either,
for I do not want to feel
that penetrating
sadness once more...
i'm too young
to be hurt like that,
I am too young
to understand,
I am too young
therefore foolish.
I don't believe
that there is anyone
that would fit
with who I am,
and what I think...
may be i'm too young.
Right now,
i'd rather wait
long years,
than feel another
crushing fate
that love will decide
to place on my shoulders.
