The first time I'd ever heard this song, It was a hot summer night. I was lying down on my bedroom floor with a Walkman stuck in my ears, listening to the Quiet Storm. I was sixteen years old and just experiencing "True Love" for the first time and the "ROLLER COASTER RIDE" with "HIM!" I was a little distraught over something, I cant even recall, but nonetheless I was hurting over "HIM." That night a song by Whitney Houston came on; "You're Still My Man!" And from the way it began I was hooked, the words complimenting the melancholy sound and man, I was hooked. The DJ that night was Vaughn Harper or either Champagne, I can't recall. But Whitney's voice piercing through the night, took me to a place (with LOVE) I never recovered from and it was because of this song.
No need for elaboration, but I just want to say "YOUNG LOVE IS THE PUREST FORM OF LOVE!" It's not about an ORGASM or SEXUAL PROWESS...it's the moment you see each other for the first time you lock eyes, and are lost in each other's SOUL'S forever!
You both go through coming of age and growing pains. You break up to make up, loving each other one minute and hating each other the next. Holla "I don't care who he/she is seeing, yet the first time you get to SABOTAGE any suitors or prospect of that person having someone else in their lives...you do it! Even if it means maligning or destroying their character, because you don't want any one else to have him/her!
I remember that love. And long after the two of you have split, never really giving your love a chance; you marry, have children spending the rest of your life thinking: "WHAT IF?" Because you knew from the first time your eyes locked, you knew he or she was "THE ONE" and you just BLEW IT!
