i adore young love
and the innocence of their young hearts
glances across swing sets
smiles across soccer fields
how simple it is
the boy looks at her,
like hes descovering the sun
"i like like you," he blurts out
she pauses, then giggles
is she mocking him??
no, shes not
“i like like you too!”


they hold hands around playgrounds
trying to act cool
shes blushing hard
and he is too
they’re in love
they know it
theyll get married, they swear
and they really do believe it
they doodle eachothers names in notebooks
and draw little hearts all around it
making promises that they really believe they can keep
their world is tiny,
small enough to fit in a small hand
forever feels close enough to touch

maybe theyll grow older,
and drift apart like clouds
but, i mean, in a way,
theyll always be forever
forever in their memories
