Young Man's First Love

At the gate of adolescence boy meets girl;
a real jewel but she clearly ranks second.
He spends time grooming another favorite 
and buys expensive gifts for her, like custom wheels.
In times away from her, he’ll mutter with worry
of how she might could suffer harm without him.
Might she disappear like a shadow from his sight?
