Lucy - There's a Feeling in the Air...


True Love


There’s a nervousness in the air,

The kind that makes a hole in your stomach,

An empty pit, needing something to fill it

Hmm… possibly the popcorn he just bought you?

No, popcorn won’t do

Since the way he is looking at you,

Makes the pit appear all over again.

I don’t want this feeling to end.

But I know this kiddish love won’t last long after the movie,

The ending of the movie symbolizes the end of our everlasting love.

Lucy, age 16
