I think it's possible...it depends on the person and their maturity level...
I think I was in love when I was about 16, with one particular person...
I am now 27 and I still think about that person occasionally.
I have also been through other experiencesafter that where I thought maybe I was in love and now realize I couldn't have been.
But that one experience at 16...still sticks in my mind.
Mainly because it involved sacrificing my own happiness for him to be happy...
and I also feel that he was someone I totally got and who totally got me...and I only see the value of that now.
Weird stuff.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
