I started thinking about how young people really don't understand love, and then the first line of this poem just kind of came to me. Basically, I was just kind of going on a rant about how young people think that they're in love when in reality, they can't actually tell the difference between love and affection. The words, "I Love You" are so overused that it's sad to see it becoming so cliche to say, especially by younger people who think that they're "in love" when clearly they aren't because they know nothing about it when they think they do. For example, there are people "in love" after a week of dating and they think that the other person is their complete world when their relationship is hardly built off of anything besides, "well, this person is really sweet and nice to me." That's not love - THAT is feeling cared about and attracted to how you're being treated and how great the other person is. So yeah...it was my fancy rant. Haha :) I titled it "Ironic Ignorance" because I thought it was ironic, seeing that I'm only a sophomore and all, and even though I may understand love, I may not understand all aspects of passion. The difference between myself and the people I wrote about is that I understand that there are things that I don't understand or have not experienced yet.
