About This Quote
Love is like a costume that we put on for a short period of time and then we put it away in a drawer. When we put it away, it becomes an old fashioned fashion and we no longer love with the same passion. This quote is saying that we all grow up and we outgrow love like other things. It is something that we want to keep in our lives forever but when we outgrow it, we can no longer find the same passion for it.
