Excellence Award in the 'Write Along 2018' competition
Love is no toy to be taken for granted
But a gift from God, a special tree to be planted
There are many forms in which love can take
So don't let it fool you, that’s our worst mistake
Friends are friends, no romance in this,
Or at least how it was when we were just kids
But when we reached the teenage years
Love seemed to lead us to heartache and tears
For the love for a friend can be misread
And is sometimes mistaken for romance instead
So think about love, how it is strong
And do people in the outside world see it wrong?
