Love is a complex phenomenon, my friend. At one time it will have you at the heights of pleasure whereas, on the other hand, it will have you grovelling in the dust if you and your partner separate. In whichever state it may leave you, one thing is for sure: love is unpredictable. You can’t predict what chasm it might send you in the very next moment. Love has no boundaries, in terms of giving gifts. It can ‘gift’ you either pure bliss and ecstasy or the horrifying pits of grief and sorrow. And if it has no boundaries in this matter, why should it be restricted to only beautiful people? After all, love happens in the strangest of ways!

Beautiful women with handsome men. Yes, this seems to be a perfect match. But as we just mentioned, love happens in the strangest of ways.
