I COULD NOT TELL

The sight of him made my heart beat 
It made me dizzy 
My stomach rumbled 
My legs shook 
My hands became unsteady 
He was the most handsome boy 
His voice was music to my soul 
He was a real gentleman 
I could not think clearly 
This was love at first sight 
I wanted to run into his arms 
To hug him 
To kiss him 
To tell him all the crazy things in my mind 
It felt as if a magnet was pulling me 
He was completely irresistible 
He stared at me 
That drained the strength out of my bones 
He talked to me 
I was dumbfounded 
He said he loved me 
I loved him too 
I managed to say 
I allowed him to use me 
He used my body 
He squandered my money 
I gave him all my time 
All because I thought I loved him 
In a few months 
I began to dislike him 
I wondered what I saw in him 
I regretted ever being with him 
I did not love him 
What then was that? 
Infatuation 
That was it 
My teacher told me about it 
I never understood 
I could not tell the difference 
Love and infatuation 
Fellow adolescents, 
Beware 
For infatuation can ruin you 
Self control is the best
