boys

so icky so stinky so gross that’s what we were told growing up i didn’t talk to them because boys had cooties he hits me because he likes me he flirts by making fun of me he talks about me to his friends and says i’m easy is this what love is like? i’ve never had anything real he pays for me he opens doors for me he worships me why is this different from what we were taught these aren’t the standards i’ve been used to is this love?
