Teenage love they call it but isn't that what we all want from love? We want the naiveness we once had, we want to do crazy things for someone else and them to do crazy things for us, we want to feel like dying of love, like if there was just no one else, nothing that matters most. We want the rush, the butterflies, the blushing, the pounding hearts, the sweaty hands... we want it all.
And yet adults start asking, is it real though? Is teenage love a real feeling or is it just hormones? More importantly, even if it's real... can it last?
We ask a lot but we hide away from answers we may already know.
We know it's a real feeling, it's something people are capable of feeling, it's something we might have already felt ourselves, that one love that truly felt like nothing else. Is it powered by hormones? Maybe, but isn't all love like that? Does that make it any less real to you?
Finally... can it last? That's where not being a teenager anymore should really matter, you're more responsible now, more understanding, more mature. You have developed a lot of things you may have been lacking as a teenager. This is where being an adult should kick in and tell you "Yes, it can last, because we'll make it last, together."
Love is meant to be felt deeply and sometimes, as adults, we become less brave to let it happen. We may have been hurt before and that's why we take it with a grain of salt but in the end, deep down, that kind of love is what we truly dream of having.
Even covered in scars, our hearts will not give up. Why should we?
