Puppy Love
The first, they say, is "puppy love",
You can't be certain how you feel.
How can a heart as young as yours
Decide if what it feels is real?
A heart can age but not grow wise;
Wisdom may not come with years.
And where's the proof that older eyes
Cry more or even wetter tears?
Age shouldn't dictate when you love,
Just trust your heart to lead the way,
And leave it up to love to prove
That it won't lead you far astray.
Love can be real and no less pure,
Even if it has no past.
Each time I fall in love I'm sure
It's for the first time and the last.
