A poetic reflection on young love — the secret glances, the hand-holding, and the sweetness of discovering romance for the first time.
Young lovers. Dripping in youth and the kind of chemistry that turns the air electric. They giggle in code, share glances that still carry the softness of childhood, freshly shed. There's something sacred about witnessing a first love bloom.
At 18, love is new. Weightless. Untamed. It doesn't yet know the scars of time. It’s the warm brush of hands that meet for the first time — on the way to school, on a lazy afternoon bench. It’s sparkling eyes that say more than a thousand words, with no need for captions.
They hold hands like they’re holding the entire universe — small, safe, enough. Whispering things no one else can understand, laughing like they invented a secret language — the language of love. The kind that’s just beginning to learn how to give, how to open up, how to lose and find oneself in someone else.
Watching two hearts sync like that — in glances, in quiet touches, in laughter — reminds us that love still exists. That despite the bruises of adulthood, the jaded layers we accumulate, the walls we build to stay safe, love continues to be born somewhere. And sometimes, if we’re lucky, reborn in us.
Because we were all them once. Or maybe, we still dream of being again.
First love is like spring blooming inside us. A season that never fully fades — even when we’re deep in winter. It lives on, tucked somewhere in memory, like a gentle echo of when love was simple, whole, and a single smile was enough to believe it would last forever.
And maybe, in some way, it always does.
