There is a short story called "Too Early Spring", it is about two teenagers who discover romance at a young age. I'm not sure who the author is, but I recall that the first paragraph started with "Spring came early that year . . .". If the story/novel that is being referred to by the original poster is about adolescent romance, I'll look through some anthologies that I have for the exact title and author. Let me know. David S.
