Young Love, Lessons, & Attachments

A Lesson To Be Learned

They say you never
know a person's story,
well continue to read
and let me walk you through.
This was the beginning of lesson I never learned. See I was a freshman,
not too clueless
but, I knew some things.
When it came time
for freshman class meetings
and advice sitting there like,
"oh yeah I already knew this."
You had never
crossed my mind
& each other's presence
were never noticed
when paths were
crossed.
For some reason the night you text me
I immediately got attached to
you.
A feeling so explainable but unexplainable,
something that couldn't be denied.
Face to face, blushes & smiles,
with warm hugs in between,
I knew you were the one.
Being told you were no good never mattered to me,
because you were mine
& they could've been lying,
But I wasn't gonna let their opinion determine my feelings
or thoughts of you.
To me they were always gonna be outsiders
looking in on a situation they knew nothing of, what they had to say never really mattered.
Fast forward to the late night cries & mixed emotions
because I was the one in too deep
trying to show love
while you were still playing
games
but, yet I'm the one that's al
ways "trippin"
right?
