Ten Year Old Love

A stick figure hangs on to a floating red heart outline.

I try to know
as I grow
how I show
I’m in love

We meet at play
everyday
How do I say
I’m in love?

The rules are new
What do I do?
I have no clue
I’m in love!

In maths I beam
her smile it seems
just like a dream
I’m in love!

A lunchtime date
She’s more than great
Not like my mates
I’m in love!

The sun’s above
What’s puppy love?
We push and shove
I’m in love!

In Hometime’s line
Her grin’s a sign
And so is mine
We’re in love!
