Young Love
don’t know
why
they call it
a breakup
when it’s actually
a breakdown
there’s nothing up
about it
ask any
one
who ever loved
and let go …
and went on
to live …
a different life
what it’s like
and when you’re young
still trying
to find your feet
and figure out
how to stand
on your own
that first break
first ache
first farewell
can feel un
bearable
like you’ll never be
h
a
p
p
y
again
some say
it’s not real
when you’re a teen
ager
but a young person
feels things
deeply
especially a sensitive soul
it’s not wise
to dismiss
that first welling
in the early years
for anything
other than
what it is
you are changed
inside
in a way that stays
with you
as you age
and each time
there’s a break
up
it’s a break
down
