Young Love

I saw a young couple on the bus the other day

And knew right away what my eyes was beholding

Young love

His arm around her

Her snuggled into his side

The intense conversation 

Hanging on to each others every word

The shared giddiness as they find each other totally hilarious

The game of cat & mouse played

In search of one common goal

A simple kiss

Young love

Seeing it makes me remember

What that used to feel like

The innocence

The sincerity

The freeness

The pureness

I miss that time

Miss that feeling

I envy them

And their young love
