Momma knew

You smell like cotton candy

I smiled

Simply because that's all that I could seem to accomplish

My heart was soft delicate and sandy

His heart was the open ocean

Hitting the sand of my heart and making it strong enough to stick together

And I went home that night and i played Taylor Swift

Because every time I heard the heartwarming tune of her music it brought me back

Brought me Back to when we swung on the swings and used our fingers to paint our names

together in the sky

Your hugs were like honey

Your kisses even sweeter

The way you touched me -the sweetest.

You made me think,

Hey maybe I am in love.

Momma. I am in love.

And she just smiled because she knew

Oh she knew

But she didn't reveal the secrets of love until I

was old enough to drive

Drive down a long road of forbidden love and lust, trust, and deceit.

My love treated another the way he treated me

So I ignored Mr. Love and went home to think and play Taylor Swift

I Opened my window and looked at the dark shining sky

Where our names remained painted connected to the stars

And when my momma walked in my room and asked me

Why is your window open

I just laughed and said

Momma... I

Am in love.
