I Fell In Love With A Boy, Not A Man.

by Charli   May 24, 2011


He's beautiful.
He's taller than most and he's looking at me,
He's making his way over between the arks of the lean.
He's stood beside me and his breath is soft in my ear,
He calls my name.
Charli...
And then again;
Charli!

My family are dumbstruck when I tell them
I'm to be wedded in the morning
To wrap myself in the sweetest white,
So I can stay with him forever, not just tonight.
Some turn away, words hot and loud in their mouths,
But I do not listen.
He is all I want; my pain, my love, my hate, my trust.
Time has gone so fast,
Only yesterday I was a girl, wanting only the most futile rewards in life.
I could not dream of love!
No, that was for ladies wearing skirts and speaking of lost lust.
I was a girl, and he a boy, not a man.
But now he is dressed up in the finery of solicitation,
Ready to pledge himself to me.

What could I ever have done to deserve this?
I don't understand but I swear to god I do not care.
I want to run away with him palm thick against mine,
Forget about promises gone, and forget about time.
Do you take...yes, and do you promise...yes.
I do.
And soon his lips are hot upon my own,
Telling me every secret I didn't desire to know
Until now.
We are the text on the pages, the words in the song
What I have always wanted, all along.
I've got the Indian summer and the arctic moons all in one,
Ready to lash out at any disagreeing tongue.

I am in love!
Victory is mine, and yours to keep,
No money could have the rewards I soon will reap.
Soon, we are closer than ever before,
Answering every question and opening every door.
I am swollen in a matter of months,
My hands caressing the growing bump.
Yes; its certainly love,
But not the type I ever thought I could trust.
It wasn't a mistake, it was divine madness,
I couldn't tear myself away from happiness, nor sadness,
And now I am here with the sweetest of pains,
I love you dearly,
I know you won't fade away.
