The speaker reflects on their experience of love as a young person, recalling how their mother dismisses their feelings by claiming they are too young to truly understand love. Despite this skepticism, the speaker is wholly focused on their feelings for Alicia and believes that their time together provides a sense of belonging that aligns with their understanding of love.

This perspective challenges the notion that youth precludes genuine emotions. The speaker's deep connection with Alicia leads them to consider that the intensity of their feelings might indeed represent love, regardless of any external doubts about their age or experience.
