When You’re Young and In Love

I am listening to this song from The Jets. It is titled as When You’re Young and In Love. I am playing this song in the background. The song repeats because I observed that if that song is my background song, my brain is moving. Then while I stop from typing once in a while, I listen to the lyrics. I begin to remember the times when I was young and in love.

 
When I was young I keep on saying to my parents that I will never fall in love. I know I will admire some guys at school, much more if they are good looking but no, I will not fall in love with them. I promised to my parents that I will finish school and will able to have a decent job to help them. I did it. I able to graduate school and had a lot of jobs already, but one thing is for sure, I did not keep my promise. I fell in love, without their knowing.

 
Falling in love is a good feeling. When you fall in love, it is a rollercoaster of emotions. He never became my boyfriend. I never had a relationship. When it was happening, at first, he doesn’t know I existed. It is still fresh in my mind when I saw him at school. He was just sitting in one of the benches at school. He was just smiling to his friends. I was there, sitting in front of him. I know I was just looking at him that I never thought I got mesmerized I can’t look around. My eyes were focused on him. I was watching how he talks, laugh and exchanged jokes with his friend. He is funny and good looking.

 
I never expected that I will again see him after a week. He was on the stairs waiting for someone, maybe. He looked bored but he still looks good. He turned around to me and he found me watching him. I bowed down and pretend to be reading something. His looks turned away to someone and then he was gone. I felt a deeper excitement. It was a feeling I never felt before. I knew from that day that I will fall for him. I knew I will be falling in love and I did.

 
It is hard when I was not seeing him at school. I started to stalk him when I have a chance. I know he knows that I was watching him all the time. He just allowed me to do so. I found out that one of my close friends knows him. I watched them chat sometimes. She introduced me to him. I can still remember how he looked at me. I was very shy. I know my cheeks turned red. I can’t look at him. He was just looking at me all the time. His were smiling. He held his hand to me and said he is glad to meet me. All I can do is smile.

 
The rest is history. I already grew up. He is one of the person in my life that made me happy. I know I fell for him and I do not regret everything that had happened. Even if he like someone else before, I just let my heart love him. Nothing happened bad. I just learned from experience. I still believe it is good to fall in love. I believe in the power of love and on how it changes people. It changed me to become a better person. I love to feel that way again.

 
When you are young and in love, it seems that the world revolves around one person. I am glad that during my time, I treat this young man as an inspiration. He is the reason why I never absent in school. He is my greatest reward. Once I received a good grade, I always tell myself he helped me. He had helped me survived college only by existing. College is a great challenge but there is one person who is there for me even though he doesn’t know that. It is a great feeling. I wish to feel it again. Of course, now with a different person. I like to fall in love again. Love is the greatest feeling.
