"....and I realized the most important thing about first love. As deep as it is for you at the time, it's only a teaser for even more amazing things to come and whether first love ends dramatically or hurtfully or simply, eventually all the emotional fog surrounding it clears and we can see that first love is so special because it's one of the few experiences in life when we follow only our heart - not reason, not "rules", not what other people say. Maybe that's why we hold onto our first love in some way - why we miss it or long for it, want to reclaim or redo it. Because first love opens our eyes to that feeling that everyone's been talkin about, singing about, writing about."
