Not 16 (a random love poem)

 

When I was a young girl,

I thought that love had to be like a fairytale;

As perfect as a beautiful work of art 

so I never truly gave away my heart. 

I just played pretend 

with friendship bracelets, plastic promise rings, and valentines. 

Now, my adolescence since had been long gone, 

I yearn to be completely loved and wanted for my heart and mind. 

I'm not sixteen anymore, 

I want more than a boy holding my hand. 

I need a tight embrace, sweet caresses, entwining bodies, a soulmate; 

Someone fascinating, accepting, and so passionate.
