Love's Capacity

When the sun breaks its way underneath the horizon,
my heart keeps me from resting.
It sends those reoccurring thoughts to my head.
Can you just try to stay in my heart and out of my head?
Sure, it is hard to have you in my heart,
all it does is race and pace from symptoms of you
but it's much easier than having thoughts of you clutter my mind.
The biggest thought... or perhaps, question is one that
NEVER leaves my aching skull.
Do you think about me like I think about you?
My head fills with images of shaking hands and struggling eyes.
I wonder if I ever do that to you like you do to me.
Seeing your knees tremble with anxiety and
your heart beats so hard that it almost pops through your chest.
I wish I had that affect.
I'll probably never know...
You'll probably never know.
That's the worst part about being a teenager.
Your body is filled with fear and 'what if's..?'
Love really doesn't mix well with those.
It just makes me question...

Can
our
teenage
bodies
handle
love?
