X Love Like This

by Sole   Apr 9, 2006


When I was young, innocent, pure
I was taught that love was perfection
They said that love was something to adore
Not pain, heartache and rejection

Those who I aspired to be
Placed biased thoughts inside my mind
They said love was good for me
Instead, I fell and was left behind

They taught me to love and hold
A member of the opposite sex
To marry, and to grow old
But really love is more complex

They thought that I would be slow
They thought I would not realise
But instead I was hit by the blow
Of love, without it's clothes of lies

And now I sit here all alone
Remembering my childish past
And how I never feared the unknown
Love like this happened much too fast
