When you are a girl
you fall for a boy
who taunts you
with bittersweet kisses
to not notice
just how bitter
the lies those kisses told.
When you are a young woman
you let go of the boy
who taunted you
with bittersweet kisses
to not notice
just how bitter
those lies those kisses told.
When you are a woman
you fall for a man
who respects you
with loving embraces
to notice
just how love truly feels.
