I remember when I was little and

Love was simple

I loved mom and dad

Gramma and Granpa

and every Sunday in church

they said we ought to love everyone

But as I got older

I realized they didn't mean everyone

because they really don't love anyone

so how could they know what

it is to love someone

and now that I know that

I shouldn't love everyone I

find out that noone

really loves anyone

because noone even knows what love is anymore

so how could they love when they

don't understand it and they

try to define it by

tying it up and throwing it

in a little box and saying

'yeah this is love, love

only really comes in one form

and even though I'm saying you should

love everyone what I mean is only love

people that fit my mold' and they say

one thing while they shoot another

and I wish I was three again

when I knew all that I'll ever need

to know about love and didn't

know that there are so damned

many rules about love and who and where

you can love and dammit can

someone tell me when it got

so fucking complicated?
Awh, I wrote this back when I was 50 kinds of fucked up over Rachel and refusing to admit I liked her. heh.

I remember reading this when you first wrote it. I still think it's a good poem, it's very heart-filled and emotional.
