Young Couple In Love Maybe this time Just this once They beat the odds And run faster then the years That have cost so many so much Maybe this time They see the signs And turn at full speed Where others had not the courage That jealousy is a beast Best left abandoned Where ageing is only a face Beautifully familiar That love is not a matter Of biology But of destiny Maybe this time Is for all time Flames without candles Love without need |

It would seem that this Couple In Love has indeed run faster than the years and clearly seen all the pitfalls of couples nowadays, the worst and most dangerous being jealousy (the beast best left abandoned) (good line) and that aging is in fact a familiar face that is still considered beautiful.
They have realized that love is not a matter of biology (alone) but of destiny (another good line). I think you sum it up concisely in the poetic
"Flames without candles" meaning love is the candle, and "love without need" which is a rarity, but ideal. (I do think Line 4 should be "than").
All in all, a good summation of a young couple with wisdom.
