young love

Some things have changed a lot since 1984 when the errant Father Buck wrote to his young love interest.

"Young love—full of promise, full of hope, ignorant of reality," the newscaster explains.

Adding more would be “absurd and inaccurate,” scoffs Campion, who was attracted to the purity of young love.

He tells how he met a lovely girl at a dance, and his heart was thrilled with the rapture of young love.

His love had all the tenderness and purity of young love, the poetic love that comes only to youth.

Greater than all the dreams and hopes are the doubts of young love.

Young love is a flame; very pretty, often very hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering.

Who that feels the rush of young love through his veins can think it will ever flow feeble and slow!
