The Point System

"Hey Allie, go get me a pencil for 3 love points."

It's different, I know, but its so cliche to say the typical, joking, "I'll love you forever if you bring me my pencil."

No, this is different. This is special and not as abused as "love"

"love" gets hurt
"love" gets broken
"love" gets abandoned

Love points are very different. They can't get broken, hurt, or abandoned. They stay with whomever recieved the points and never get lost or forgotten, and never wear or bruise.

We can pretend to take love points away when we get mad or hurt, but we all know thats impossible.

Love points don't get taken back or returned!

They can only be shared, collected, and "loved"

    I like these 'love points'. We did metaphors in class today, and I think this is a great way to do something different when talking about love. I often trade food with my friends, but maybe I should just offer up points instead

    I love your poem Katie ^.^ *gives love points* my favorite part was the ending, but I loved the entire thing in general.
