loving him hurts,
loving him can give me pain,
missing him,
confused with him,
either way,
it gives me pain,

I cannot live without him,
the pain is something,
that brings us closer,
that same pain that hurts so much,
that pain can make us love,
each other that much more,

I am only 14 years old,
and this love I have already,
it's very real to me,
it's not just puppy love,
you see,
it means so much to me,

people at school,
say we're so cute,
older people just say we're a faze,
just a tiny faze of life,
that "love" is just a word,
that flows easily out of our mouths,

it's not just a word,
it's a feeling that we have,
that we share together,
a feeling so amazing,
of caring for another,

loving someone is different,
then being in love with that other,
we are "in love,"
and that I don't know how long will last,
I do know for a fact though,
I'll love him for the rest of time
