At Seventeen

She met him, they talk all night

He said he loves her

He asked if they can be together

She said “it’s alright”

 

Time passed by

She fell so deeply in love

She’d given him everything

Yet she never knew the life she’s in

 

She had lived life having him

Woke up in the morning

Go to bed in the evening

With words of love from him

 

But then a day came

When everything’s not the same

Her tears just fell down

It hurt, yet reasons were unknown

 

She wept at night

Lying in bed, listening to the rain outside

Deep inside she wanted to scream

And wished that everything’s just a dream

 

She’s just seventeen

Shen never knew love until then

Love is cruel, love is painful

It ruined her world once so beautiful

 

She never knew she’d fallen so deep

She’d dream of him when she sleeps

Still feel the taste of his lips

And all his gentle caress

 

There’s nothing she can do

But definitely, she already knew

That was how miserable love can be

And to love that way again, she never will be

 

She couldn’t forget the pain

She still cries every now and then

She still have that feeling deep within

The love she had at seventeen
