What's teenage love?

It's staying up late for each other & barely staying awake in class
the next day. It's passing each other between classes & stopping to say Hi,
but ending up running to your next class right beforethe bell rings. It's going
to the mall, wandering around hand in hand, with a silence
that's comfortable. It's watching a movie in the theaters with his arm slowly
creeping onto your shoulders, & you resting your head in
his arms
. It's walking around at night, for no reason
at alll his chest, her head, looking at the stars. It's uncertainty of how long
it will last, a risk you're both willing to take, even if it
means you'll have a broken heart. It's not yet true love, not l
ike, nor lust, nor infatuation. It's
teenage love, here to stay,
here to play with our
hearts
& never go away.

the word love doesn't deserve to be in a teenager's vocabulary.
