L'amour.

I love...love.

I love being in love. I love my friends. My baby.

I love little red and pink hearts. Construction paper, lace doilies, glue sticks and glitter. Chocolate covered cherries, strawberries and smooches. Red wine and pasta dishes. Tomatoes, garlic, olive oil and sex on a plate. Big bouquets of floral sprays spelling out what words can't say. Young men with tattoos holding doors for old ladies. Lighting cigarettes for future lovers. Bourbon breath whispers and vodka spilling over the sides of martini glasses. Wearing all the rings you've given to yourself on both hands. Nervously-chipped nail polish awaiting that 4am phone call. Blankets, pillows and cold toes. Love is all around. Wearing many masks and at times denying its own existence. Shown in the lines on my face and in the twinkle of an eye.
It's real-life magic, my friends.

Go on out there and get you some.
