it's only puppy love, they remind us
we are simply confusing lust for love
the hands intertwined
the lips in a passionate embrace
the eyes that dilate
the whisper of every sweet nothing
the shared breaths between our kiss
the chills running down our spines
the hug from behind
the longing stares
the
inevitable crash
the botanica of butterflies in your stomach
the taking of a new path to class
the clouds of thoughts
the inevitable downpour
the inevitability of holding hands with another
the eyes dilate.
puppy love, they remind us.
we are simply confusing lust for love.
