First love
The reason why we think love is beautiful is not because people we first loved were actually handsome, or pretty
It's because we were unconditional, innocent, or a bit stupid at the time of first love
And because...
And because we know that we can never go back to young, passionate time of our days
First love is a bit crash
Without any calculation, we throw ourselves with passion and finally come to face failure
But it is at the same time dramatic
It comes with inexplicable feelings that we never get to experience again
So first love becomes the most dramatic moment of our lives
It's okay to fail
Tragic stories stays longer than 'happily ever after'
It's nice to have that wonderful story as one chapter of one's life
First love is a period of time
It never comes back
If the next love comes, times has to yield for that new love
It might no be as innocent as the first love, but it would be a little more mature, due to the pain suffered with the first love
A person who dreams of love, is the one who waits
And a person who waits can recognize the love when it comes near him
After the romance, the real life comes in
Innocence gets dirty, passion gets cold, and youth gets old with cleverness
So first love becomes part of one's exhausted daily life
That's why first love looks like it can't be accomplished
Because no one talks about a successful romance with first loves
Thus, it's okay to be like this
Even though, there isn't a tragic drama in my life
But there is a familiarity like an old sweater
And if it gets tired, there is an excitement to reopen it
