Trying to describe love seems to devalue it. As if to limit it by its definition. I'll say this though, true love is rare.

This mixtape centres around track 7 - fittingly, because it is by far the longest. It was compiled with someone in mind, but unfortunately can never be given to them. It's being posted here with apologies for the delay.
