"If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost. That is where it should be. Now put foundations under them." - Henry David Thoreau


ILoveYou.

A weightless expression,
that slips easy from your lips.
A careless misconception,
and she trips and falls for it.
Misused and abused, why can't we wait?
If you love each other both, why can't we wait?
She's attracted to your boyish charm,
aware she's doing herself harm,
You're falling way too hard,
Why can't we wait?

You're broken hearted. Just let her body sway-
“ILoveYou so much. Please don't go away."
You say you're up when you're knocked down,
You carelessly push her around
She falls docily to her knees,
"Oh baby, please..."

Young love is stupid, awesome, foolish, and wild.
His love can break me, take me on to tomorrow.
Hardhearted troublemaker,
How can you love?
Because to love, you must first love yourself.

"ILoveYou."

Thriving within her heart,
a selfless, fervent heat.
Her pillow becomes wet
as she cries herself to sleep.
Misconstrued and confused, why can’t we wait?
He’s playing with your heart, why can’t we wait?
He loves you ‘cause you’re always there,
he’s messed up but you do not care,
How senseless can you be?
Why can’t you wait?

You’re weak hearted, just let his body go.
'Cause if you don’t, he’ll use you and you’ll know.
You say you’re strong when you are not,
after all the love that you have sought,
unrequited, and defeated,
Why can’t you wait.

Young love is reckless, awesome, wayward and wild.
Your love kills me, makes want to live for tomorrow.
Soft-hearted troublemaker,
How do you love?
Because to love, you must not doubt yourself.

This poem describes the immature feeling of invincibility and immortality that inexperienced lovers have when they believe that they have fallen in love.
