About This Quote

This quote is the definition of love. It’s true love that you can’t find anyone to compare with. It’s the type of love that you would do anything for. When you are in love, you don’t just love another person, you love everything about them.

You fall in love with their smile, their eyes, their laugh, and the way they speak. Then, when you are in love with the world, it doesn’t matter if there is something wrong or right. You don’t care if your loved one is well or sick; if they are happy or sad; rich or poor; beautiful or plain; normal or special; gifted or average; famous or unknown because in your eyes they are perfect.

And that is how true love can make you blind. It clouds your mind and makes you see things that aren’t really there.
