Harry was portrayed as a womanizer (which he is not how dare they make my sweet innocent baby look like he's despicable like that). Modest media basically forced him to flirt with every girl who spoke to him. SO I know all the boys co-wrote the song, but all the boys were also Larry shippers. Niall was basically the captain of the ship, it's obvious in every video you watch. Liam was sick of their shit but he loved them bc you could see him laughing at every reference or joke they made about it. Zayn just watched them be all cute and he always seemed so giddy about them being cute together. So what if the boys were helping Louis and Harry write it?
"I'm the first to admit that I'm reckless,
I get lost in your beauty and I can't see two feet in front of me"
that is CLEARLY Louis talking about Harry. We all know Louis is kind of the wild one, the one who parties and drinks and smokes, aka the reckless one. And we KNOW Louis gets lost in Harry's beauty. There are DOZENS of times where you can see Louis watching Harry and just trailing off or forgetting what he was doing because he was watching Harry. (Well really you can see them both doing it bc Harry was the same way when looking at Louis).
"And I knew that you turn it on for everyone you met,
But I don't regret,
Falling for you,
Fool's gold"
Louis is trying to tell Harry that he knows he has to flirt with all these girls, but he doesn't regret falling for him anyways. Reason being he probably knows Harry won't actually be attracted to any of the girls he has to flirt with because he knows Harry belongs to him and only him. They knew how strong their love was, even if they didn't realize how long it could've lasted. In Louis's song Too Young he flat out admitted that he and Harry were "too young to know we had everything", but we know that's not Eleanor because she came around way after Harry and Louis were together. Let's not forget that Louis was 18 when he met Harry and Harry was 16 when he met Louis. (I think in my opinion Harry fell first but Louis fell harder)
Y'all forget that they cried during concerts because management told them they couldn't be out, so when singing songs like Over Again and You & I, they were crying on stage while stealing glances at each other (not to mention there were a few performances where they walked off stage because they didn't want the camera to catch them crying).
I rest my case. If you don't think this song is about Larry, I'd like to know what makes you think otherwise.
Take care and tpwk :)
