Honeymoon Stage

People say its puppy love that we are showing.
I think its fully grown and keeps on growing.
I love her so much it hurts to be apart.
In the mornings when I see her, that's when my day starts.

We may be young, but we know what were talking about. 
She is the one I'll always be with, there is no doubt.
It does upset me when she hangs out with her friends.
That's time together we didn't spend. 

I'm not jealous, its just my interests I protect.
People know this so they give me respect. 
Its Saturday night and I'm home alone. 
Its getting aggravating she isn't answering her phone. 

It kills me not to know what she's doing.
I know her guy friend likes her and is pursuing.
Finally she walks in, with this smiling grin.
Do you know what time it is, where have you been?

She apologizes, but knows this is only the beginning.
She doesn't argue anymore, she has no chance at winning.
Soon these words turn into physical abuse.
After it, they make up and call it a truce.

He always says, baby I'm sorry I just easily scare. 
I just want to show you how much I care.
She always accepts him back and turns the page.
Now they're in love again, its called the honeymoon stage.

She is no longer his girl friend, she is now his prisoner of love.
Now she is in a vicious cycle she can't get out of.
Here is a rule, one hit is one too many. 
If its true love, then there would never be any.
