I understand

I always wondered
But I pondered
To think I need love
I want it to come from above
But people say that I'm only a teen
Who is only sixteen
I don't know what love is
And If I did
I couldn't
And wouldn't
Understand what it was
Only because
People say I'm too young
But I'm not too young
I know what it means
Because I've seen
The reality
And the mortality
Of love
That comes from above
