What is love? True love?? There are millions of flowery hallmark cards that say such beautiful and sappy things that just aren't me. I mean, they obviously have great sentiment or they wouldn't be a billion dollar industry, but lets get real for a minute, love is more than that. I would like to see a hallmark card that tells it the way it is.

Love is so many little things in daily life that we lose sight of. Its often the tiniest thing that means the most...
