Young love is a passionate thing. The passion will burn out but if you truly one someone you find that when the passion becomes less a factor the intimacy of having a friend who has been with you every step of the way through life becomes more comforting and yes, less demanding. Do not fear love and allow it to grow. Like a seed planted in the ground it is a miracle to watch it grow.
Boy meets girl and they fall in love.
They gaze at the stars in the heavens above.
He wants to tell her of his warm love in verse
He feels he has the need these words to rehearse.
He gently takes her hand in his and fumbles a bit out a bad case of nerves.
He feels she is so much more than he really deserves.
He swallows hard and opens his mouth to say, “I love you, my dear.”
Shyly and quietly he says the words she longs to hear.
They soon find themselves entwined in one another’s arms.
Her lips are sweet… she has auburn hair. He is entranced by her charms.
He does not know why she returns his advances
With his kisses he worships her… his heart out of great love dances.
Her feelings for him are a reflection of his own.
One day they will be married and shall never be alone.
Their love will grow from infatuation to friendship.
That is why they will stand together even in times of hardship.
Enjoy young love while it is a burning flame
But understand that one day it will not be the same.
The fires will dwindle to a slow burning ember.
But those passionate days will be there to remember.
Let not your love die, but allow it to grow and expand.
Take my word young lovers, one day you will understand.
Wisely written from heart of great compassion. Friendship should also include great respect as 2 Peter talks about. It is fun to find and discover new ways to share the love after 26 years...:)
Enjoyed this one, too, Lew. Somehow I don't think you have lost that special spark. Now, my friend, I gotta tell you, I celebrated my birthday last Saturday. My hubby surprised me with the card he sent: "I know I'm not perfect, and I may not always know the best way to say or show how much I care, but the truth is really pretty simple--I love you and I'm so glad you're mine." Ahhh, melted my heart it did. Not to mention the thrills up and down my spine...and that is after nearly 33 years of marriage! :)
We have to find ways of keeping the fires burning!
Wow, reading upon this only forges a deep burrow into this past week...My 16 year old daughter broke up with her boyfriend, only he wouldn't accept the fact that she is young and isn't ready for what ever he was ready for. To make a long story short, I had to get the police involved to keep him from stalking her every move...scary!
I guess the young love though that you talk of here, in this beautiful write is more like the newly married, or close to being, the honeymoon wears off and the truest of love begins to grow!
...and yes, oneday they will understand!

How sweet and how true, for relationships do grow in stages, my husband and I were friends before we ever went on one date, he was actually my brothers best friend, and then we became friends, even fixed each other up on blind dates, we went out the first time as an emergency date because we neither one had a date and my best friend was going out with his best friend, well the rest is history and now nearly twenty nine years later here we are, goat farm, two children, two grandchildren and still all the love and passion required to keep the love alive between to friends who are still in love! Great write!

Sounds like a boring relationship that's missing quite a lot of passion. In true love, passion never dies. There's alot of senior couples out there who are still "in love" and share their passion in a pysical sense. And in that sense, some who sing the praises of Viagra :)
