How Old?

Whoever said "age is just a number" was a liar.

Or maybe they were just incredibly naive. 

Age is a rule, a label, and a judgement.

That's why that boy can kiss you when you're 14, but can't take you on a date until you're both 16. 

& you can legally vote but not legally drink. 

That's why we judge those who get married too young or too old like love has a golden age or expiration date.

If age were just a number you wouldn't be telling me I'm too young to even know what love is


You're too young
you're too young
you're too young
you're too old


Age is unfortunately far more than learning to count.
