i hate my generation's perspective on love.

i hate the way it's brushed off,

as if it's so simple.

i hate the way it's perceived.

i hate the way it isn't taken seriously,

i hate the way we downgraded.

i love the way it used to be,

hand-written love letters where every word written

was every word meant.

i love how it was taken seriously.

how you would spend the rest of your life with the one.

i love how much effort was put into making sure you'd spend the rest of your lives together.

i hate how we grew out of it.

i hate how instead of getting heartfelt love letters,

we get a few words in a blue bubble.

why did we stop?

and, how do we start again?
