people said it wouldn’t last
“You are mistaking love for friendship .” they said…
“and in time…this ‘love’ will pass.”
They stayed in love through all their schooling…
people said it wouldn’t last
“You’re mistaking real love for puppy love.” they said…
“and puppy love won’t last.”

they knew the years would flow by fast.

and they smile every time they kiss…remembering
when people said it wouldn't last.
