About This Quote

The minute I heard my first love story, I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was. When you hear your first love story, it’s like hearing about someone else’s entire life. Once you hear about someone else’s life, you quickly start to wonder how it would be if you were that person. You start to look for that person in every person who lives around you.
