What is love?

remember saying to my nan, ‘Nan, what is love?” And my nan taught me something I’ll never forget. She said, ‘You know, I’ve always thought of it as something very natural, and very organic. Oh yes, on the outside it’s tough and it’s ugly and it’s hard but let it grow naturally and look inside and you’ll see it’s soft and it’s gentle.’ I said, ‘That’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard. Do you really believe that’s what love is?’ And she said ‘Love? Sorry I thought you said a melon.’
