I want you to know that I was in love with you. I’m not a man who loves often, Ellen. I love once. Thank you, Russ. That’s quite a concession. I loved you… and I’m still in love with you. That’s a tribute.

WHAT COLOR IS YOUR LOVE LANGUAGE?

MULBERRY

key words:   romance,  slow-burning,  devotion.   the love of yearning,  of candlelit nights spend staring longingly at your lover’s hands or of cramping your own with the effort of writing the perfect love letter,  yours is the love that transcends time,  expectations,  and patience.   when you’re in love with somebody,  you give them your whole heart.   an extremely loyal,  thoughtful,  and introspective person,  your ideal date may involve simply opening a bottle of wine and revelling in the company of your favourite person.   voted most likely to fall in love with somebody who your soul remembers from a past life - if you believe in that sort of thing.  best matched with:   Mulberry,  Peacock  &  Scarlet

TO WHOM DOES YOUR HEART BELONG?

your heart belongs to the sea.   you are a traveler,  you long to see the world and all it has to offer.   your feelings are powerful and turbulent,  you get swept up in them with ease.   you follow the tide to wherever it takes you,  or you hold your breath and swim.   keep swimming.   the world is beautiful,  and you will love every second you spend traversing it.
