Love Seems to...
Chonita Powell, 15
Illinois
Love seems to come, Love seems to go.
Love seems to have its own little show.
Love seems to make you laugh, Love seems to make you cry.
Later on Love makes you ask yourself why.
Love seems to be here, Love seems to be there.
Love seems to always be in the air.

Only For You
Beonca Harrington, 15
Washington, DC
I made a promise that is hard for me to keep,
and for this reason I think of you before I sleep.
I wouldn’t do this for anyone else
because without you I can’t be myself.
Don’t you know that I really love you?
And these things I do, I do them only for you.
Even though it’s been a while
when we talk I still laugh and smile.
Boy, I love you
in so many different ways,
and think about you everyday.
If I lose you again I don’t know what I would do.
The best thing is to try to be best friends with you.
All of this love I don’t share because my feelings are true—
but only for you.

Ode 2 Love
Lachele Fernandes, 17
Massachusetts
I always imagined you to be so beautiful,
I mean from what I’ve seen in movies and on TV shows.
I thought you’d be perfection,
that was my expectation.
I just knew you would make me happy
with a smile for all to see.
I was convinced you’d make me laugh,
have me tell my friends about you,
and get me in trouble in class,
daydreaming in math, doodling our names on my bus pass.
And when I think back, you did just that.
But it didn’t end there.
See, that was the beginning,
before I felt you didn’t care and I was no longer grinning.
You acted new, and I got mad at you.
I couldn’t understand why you were acting so strange,
or what I had done to cause the sudden change.
So, depressed, overwhelmed, and hurt,
I scrambled to get back on my feet,
and through all the commotion,
I learned the lessons you intended to teach.
And I know you did it for the good of me.
Now I see you have to take the good with the bad,
because the bad comes with the good.
And you have to make it through the bad for it to
be all good.
And if you understood, you’re clever, Love.
In your own way you taught me this, and
I won’t forget it, never.
Thank you, Love,
I love you!

Am I In Love?
Roopa Menon, 17
Maharashtra, India
Amidst work and duties all around,
which to accomplish I am bound.
I sit staring blankly at the sky
as on a soft couch in my room I lie.
With a smile on my face beaming,
I sit relaxed daydreaming.
Suddenly appears before me a face,
captivating my heart it makes me dazzle.
His beautiful eyes hazel blue,
the limit of his sweetness they give no clue.
The very glimpse of his face,
makes me love life with craze.
His enchanting smile,
spreading cheer for miles,
he is that charming new boy in my class
whose very sight make me go into a trance.
Even the event of our meeting
finds me speechless, sitting.
The blonde hair covering his forehead,
seems like clouds in the sky forming a bed.
His glowing face very pretty,
gives me a feeling of eternity.
But, I might lose him, I wonder,
This very thought makes me shudder.
Am I in love? I repeatedly ask myself
but no reply, could you help?
