Love Poem: Untitled

I remember back in the day
in elementary school
when crushes, puppy love
didn’t go by adult rules

He’d say the worst of you
He’d tease and hit
And it only got worse
If you threw a fit

He’d make your life miserable
Push you around a lot
It was a disguise for his feelings
He didn’t want to get caught

Now I’m in my big girl relationship
But I find the same is true
that big boys still
will hit and pick on you

Though he’ll say that he likes me
He can’t show how much
He has to be macho, 
the big “MAN” and such

I hated those childish games
So I tried to grow up really fast
And now I’m stuck in what is now my future
When all I want is my past
