An Incomplete Love Story

Sometimes my sweetie sings to me.
	He’s loud and often gets off key
	and out of tune, but I don’t care.
	We’re always such a happy pair. 
	I think he’s charming as can be.        

	He hangs out with a rowdy crowd.
	They horse around and get so loud.
	They get all muddy when they play
	their childish games, but that’s okay.
	To be his girlfriend makes me proud.

        We pass love notes each day at school.
	When others see, they think we’re cool.
        At fourteen, we can't marry yet.
	I’m lucky as a girl can get
        'cause even at this age, WE RULE!

	“It’s ‘puppy love’!” my parents say.
        "Now COOL IT! Let it fade away.”
	Could they be right? Someday we’ll see.
	I think ten years from now I’ll be
	preparing for my wedding day!

Nicely written, Janice, the love between teenagers is just as real as between 25 year olds or 45 or 65, the feelings are still the same. Best of luck. John
