There are times when I weep like a child.
The tears are caused by dread, worry, fear.
I am afraid that what PEOPLE say
may be true. PEOPLE say I am young,
much too young to feel true love. To them
it’s considered infatuation.
Who are they? How can THEY tell me of
what is in my heart? To tell me that
this is child’s love is to tell me that
I am no longer human. These are
things I know without a doubt.
Of my humanity, and my love.
People say that the distance between us
is much too great to overcome. Not so!
I ask you now to take my hand, and we
will break through these barriers. We shall walk
together to show these people that our
love is as strong as any other love.
Now what do THEY say? They must say
that they underestimated true love.
For true love is exactly what we have.
True love never fades, but it grows stronger.
They will watch their barriers crash down and
watch our love grow. Grow to new heights.
