Tell her about the boy on the football team
And how he is hoping to score more than just points after the match
Tell her to focus on her academics
Because what college would accept a 17 year old with a baby?
Tell her about the boy who will pretend to be her best friend
And how he will ditch her when she doesn’t do anything about the bump in his pants when they hug
Tell her to tell him that just because she invited him out for dinner
It does not mean she will invite him back to her home
Tell her about the boy who will control her every move
And how he can twist “I just went to the shop for bread and milk”
Into “I’m having an affair”
Tell her to run as quick as she can
Because there’s only so many times you can use the excuse “I fell down the stairs”
Before someone gets suspicious
But don’t forget to tell her about the boy who will put the stars in her sky
About the boy who will make her want to climb Mount Everest and scream “I’m in love! ” when she go to the top
Tell her about the hopeful look in his eyes when he asks for her hand in marriage
And make her believe that even after all the heartbreak and tears;
Love is worth it in the end
