Young Love

in the beginning young love burns so bright
words of endearment whispered at night
true love now blossoms under the stars
slowly happiness heals life’s past scars

for a moment in time all troubles are gone
arise with a smile at the crack of each dawn
two hearts become one as the calendar turns
two souls on fire with a passion that burns

life’s not always a fairytale, there is no pretending
not all love stories have the perfect happy ending
sometimes tears fall where once was laughter
sorrow often felt instead of happily ever after

when love fails and two hearts are left broken
hatred is spewed where once kindness spoken
remember the past when two hearts were one
memories of young love never to be undone

young love comes with both happiness and pain
with each encounter much wisdom we gain
never give up on love, don't ever be swayed
as you grow old great memories are made
