This year I'm embracing the love and not the nonsense of this holiday. Here's a few songs that always get to me, with the right amount of cheesiness and honesty that can only come from being embarrassingly smitten with another human.
I'll start it off with a classic, and one of my favorite lyrics of all time. So simple yet beautiful.
