Young Love

The scariest thing a teenager can encounter
Yet the one thing we seek to find.
You won’t understand how it happened, but once they come into your life everything changes.
The thought of being someone’s everything, is enough to fascinate the mind.
But how do you know that he loves you?
It will consume you, it will intoxicate you.
You will know every flaw, and things no one else knows about them,
And you will still be so enamored, that it will not phase the relationship.
You will be subconsciously blinded by it, simply because you cannot see past the affection.
Love is the most spectacular, indescribable, deep euphoric feeling for someone.
When you are not together, you feel a deep pain in your chest,
It’s not that you cannot live without them; it’s that you don’t want to.
You will find yourself losing sleep over them, and you will be okay with it.
They cross your mind constantly; the thought of them is never tiring to you.
You will be at a loss of words when you ask yourself how much they mean to you.
In that moment you realize they are the best thing that has stumbled into your life.
They make the promise to you that no matter how difficult it gets, they won’t give on you.
You will fight for each other, because life without each other seems almost unbearable.
Sooner or later you feel like they are all that keeps you going in life.
They make the bad seem bearable, and the good so much better then imaginable.
But you when you lose it, your world will come crumbling down.
Everything you had set out for, and felt you finally retrieved takes a twist.
The devastation and disappointed overwhelms the mind.
It’s like watching life on fast forward, but you’re stuck on pause.
It's the feeling you get when you have finally trusted someone, and they let you down.
It is a sickness in your stomach and a knot in your throat.
Now you are left to cry, either on the inside or out,
Making promises to yourself that you will never let this happen again.
