Seventeen's an age when love comes easy: Ecstasy rolls in at a caress. Very easy to submerge in eyes Exotic, erotic, excessively impressed. No point in saying nothing comes that easy: There's time to work on slowing that caress. Eventually, love confiscates those eyes, Entangling joys too deep to be expressed, Now sweet, secure, and rich, but never easy.
