The worst part about being fifteen

Is falling in love with the men who leave

Their toy trucks and massive guns

Grab an Ak-47 for a coffee run

They hide who they are behind their helmets

Mommy told them what to do

"Don't be who you want to be

If you open up, you're screwed"

Daddy sent him away, without the knowing what his son does all day

The friends that boy had made

An unbreakable bond between him and a friend now frayed

A distance between us

That shows how quickly young and new love

Can burn out, it's too much

I send you a letter and whenever it comes back, it's useless

I can't feel your emotions through a screen

I cannot do it without you in front of me

I used to love all the letters I'd receive

Until I realized, there's no love between us
