Love Monologue

Love

Love at first sight - I thought it only existed in Love Stories until I saw you.

My stomach jumped, my heart started to race when I saw you on the crowded dance floor. I couldn’t stop staring at you, I caught your eye but quickly turned away embarrassed.

Or the time you brought home a Christmas tree that was way too big to fit in our lounge room, but you made it fit and we decorated it together. It’s these
