Young Love

A wise man unwritten letter
To his future self
A prickly feeling that keeps one on their feet
You notice the other but never yourself 
You make time for the other 
Stand on your feet and call out mistakes 
A wild free feeling 
Wanting for the wind
Can't grasp it 
It's fleeting yet memorable
A whisper in the morning 
A loud cry in the night 
Exchanged letters and clothes 
To become a memory no one should talk about 
Cupcakes on Mondays
Sorbet on Thursdays
But you preferred Saturdays
Confessions said out loud
The heart not so sure 
A wild free feeling 
It's the magic they all talk about 
To only turn devastating and tragic
Makes you wonder 
It changes 
Against two people 
What becomes of it when a third arrives?
I haven't experienced it 
But this is my definition 
Comprehension is never taking seriously 
Only the lucky ones
What is it actually?
It's quite haunting and daunting 
If you ask me
I wanted to know what it was like
But I was scared my balloon will fly away
When I give it out
