Love and the Stress it Causes on the 'rents When your 17

They look angrily at me

I stayed out too late again

I was just having fun

with my boyfriend

when will they see

that I've grown older

"what is that?" its a hicky

right on my shoulder

you say things like

"your much too young"

"we didnt even kiss,

using our tongues"

I'm sure thats wrong

I bet you werent angels

you've done crazy things

looking into hell

and how can you say

I dont know what love is?

to me its not a game

I always want to be his

that would raise

a few more of your lines

"he wont be with you forever"

"he wont be there all the time"

even if hes not

I'll love him always

I'm having living life and having fun

while the 'rents get down and pray

I'm not a little kid

soon I will be on my own

I'm 17 years old now

I have to get through the rest alone

Let me make my own mistakes

I wont completely shut you out

but I need to start letting go

figure out what life is about

the same goes for love

I'm starting to understand

I feel it everytime

he holds my hand

he's not like the normal

boys my age

he's not an actor

up on stage

I love him more

than anything

maybe one day

I will wear his ring

then you will see

that we are true

you will then understand

everything I do

or maybe it will be I

telling you that you were right

but until that day comes

lets not fight

I think I understand you though

I'll try not to break the rules

just as long as

you try to be "cool"

we'll get through this fine

we'll get through this together

next time I'll hide the love marks

underneath my sweater

You will always be my parents

he will have my love, even if hes not there

you have to understand though

that I really do care

I'm not just trying

to make them go mental

but sometimes I just dont

get the parentals

They say they trust me

but everything makes them freak out

I dont understand

what thats all about

maybe one day

I will think its all fair

finally understand how

I make them pull at their hair

but for now in their eyes

the damage is done

but I'm a teen in love

and having some fun!
