Puppy Love

Dancing in the junior high gym
Liking someone not talking to them
Least your secrete be taken and displayed
If heart is for breaking with egg on face

Little teal touch by a sweaty hand
Old enough to love too young to understand
A kiss as a promise to walk you through
All the drama of junior high school

There’s teen pregnancy and I won’t judge
But it won’t be me cuz I won’t give it up
Yet I will follow my heart and find
Puppy love rarely last a long time.
