sometimes
Teacher: Do you think you’re too young to really love somebody?
Classroom: No, no….No, no.
Teacher: Well let's take it from me. I'm a adult I say wait, you're too young to be in love, this is silly. You infatuated with him, he got nice jeans, he wear fancy Adidas... I mean it must be something I don't know...
Student 1: It’s a difference from loving somebody and being in love with somebody.
Teacher: Well you tell me what’s the difference. What’s the difference?
Student 1: Ok, ok. You can love anybody, but when you’re in love with somebody you’re looking at it like this: You're taking that person for what he or she is, no matter what he or she looks like or no matter what he or she does.
Student 2: If you can fall in love, you can fall outta love.
Student 1: You might stop being in love with them, but you’re not going to stop loving that person.
Student 3: Maybe sometimes they’ve never been loved before. They’ve never been in love before or they’ve never… they don’t know what the feeling is to be loved.
Teacher: Dang she poetic. She killed it. We can end that conversation with that!
