Love (Requited) Mix

I was requested by a reader in my last entry, Unrequited Love Mix, to emphasize the positive aspects of love through song. I suppose its more "hip" of me to whine and mope about what could have been in my love life, but I really am an optimistic person for the most part. Also, I really do think I'm truly in love with a boy right now; it may be complicated as heck because its a long distance relationship, but I think he's worth the effort. So I'm going to make a post dedicated to him (and all of you lovers and dreamers out there in cyberspace). Hopefully these songs will remind you that love heals all wounds, even if your heartbreak feels like a cannonball has been catapulted through your chest. I hope this mix puts all of you readers in the "mood," that elusive feeling somewhere between a moonshadow and a candlelit dinner with the person who makes your heart sing. Okay, enough sappiness for one entry. Just listen to the songs, enjoy, and let me know what you think of choices I made for this mix.
