The Pain of Love

Do you remember when you were a child,
running in the house slamming the door with excitement,Screaming and Singing,
"I have a boyfriend!" ?

Well, I do, like it was yesterday.
The look on my mom's face,
not knowing to be happy or scared.

Actually,
 It's not been all that long since I've last seen it.
The day she met you, I guess?
Trying not to act concerned,
she placed her arms around me,
and said,"If he's the one that makes you happy.",
all along wondering if he's the next one to hurt me?

I wish I had her strength,
loving someone with her entire heart,
nomatter how the situation.
But also being bold enough
to demand respect.

She was scared, 
because she knows,
When I start to really fall for someone,
I run and never return.
This time she didn't see my tracks,
in the mud.
And she knew from the start,
I fell extremely hard for you!

She didn't want her baby,
touched with love,
to only lose it.

This one time,
I'd like to prove her wrong.
