Young Love

Young love is as pink as a rose as it begins to bloom
It smells like the first drops of rain after a drought
It tastes like sugar, sweet and pure
It sounds like shy laughter and whispered endearments
It feels like coming home after a year away
It looks like the sun coming out from behind the clouds
Young love brings joy to their tender hearts.
