Young Love

“Look at her,”

There was a lovestruck girl obsessively drawing hearts on her note card 

“look at past you.”

Sincere love flowed from her fingertips.

She believed she was loved.

“Do you think she's dumb?”

Though that time has died

and I cringe inside,

no, 

naive, maybe,

but there's things I now lack

and I wish I could go back.
