Love as I know it

He said he loved me but I- I didn't know that

that line was used many times before on girls

just as "smart" as me..

 

It was all a blur but before I knew

this guy even had ME saying "I love you"..

and I always wanted to hear- "I love you"

not forced or required by some reletive or friend but by "some boy"

willing to say it not for pretend but for something real..

I thought..

Thought this guy was the real thing

there forever nothing could be better!

Only to have our "love" severed by another

"smart" girl who didn't know any better.

 

Why?! Why does it hurt so bad?

and why the heck am I the only one looking sad..

was it really that bad?

I asked him why he had to play the "its me not you" card

but all he had to say to me was "I don't know why you fell so hard"...

 

But did that help? no!

It didn't help this cause im still feeling these feelings

remembering my first real kiss...

Then he had the nerve to call this relationship childish..

 

You right childish! Because when I threw him my heart he subsequently missed

Which is usually how it goes at this age

but not to me! Because I knew what love was and so did he so can someone please explain why this is happening to me..

 

But mama came and cleared things up and helped me see that anything long-term with that boy couldn't be because he had yet to meet the father to set him free..so she wiped my tears and told me to just let him be.

I understand now what I didn't back then and I hope when I say this that I don't offend

but that girl or boy can't really love you unless they have been delivered from sin

thats how it is now and how it's always been.

I know you're skeptical, probably asking "why" and "how"

but you tell me how one can love without meeting him for himself

answer that question as you furrow your brow.

You may or may not accept it but thats all up to you

but never again will I give my heart unless I know for sure he's been made new.
