Before and After

to all the things I wish not to be

love is stupid the young girl said
and an old woman laughed at her
it isn't fair the child pouted
he isn't here , I cant go there
the whole world wants us parted
it isn't fair the old one mimicked
I had him here and now he's gone
and your not sure if your love is strong
he makes u laugh he makes u smile
and your scared God's brought u together for only a while
isn't he my all the young one said weeping
aren't you your all the woman replied
don't worry so much and trust in love
not just yours and his, but God's above
love is dumb the girl persisted
maybe so, but at least you have some the old woman lamented
