I've never been in love, but i've always imagined it--weirdly--like some sort of oxiclean commercial. the tv host shows a scene from an ordinary day, and then takes a big old sponge soaked in love and swipes away the stains. suddenly that same scene is missing all the mistakes, all the loneliness. the colors are like jewels, ten times richer than they were before. the music is louder and clearer. "love," the host will say, "makes life a little brighter.
