I don’t know about all of you, but I love love . I’m absolutely obsessed with it, actually. I love movies about love, songs about love, and I especially love being in love myself. I must say, love is pretty great.
But I also love love stories , because there’s nothing quite like learning about two people whose own love has managed to stand the test of time.
