Love Potion #9

There's a whimsical song from the early 1960s about a young man who had trouble in the romance department, so he went to see a gypsy. The gypsy in the song knew exactly what to do and mixed him up a bottle of Love Potion #9. In the song, that potion made him start kissing everything in sight and as you might imagine, it didn't end well for him when he came upon a police officer... It was a humorous musical offering, but the interest in real love and the desire for romance in a relationship has been an enduring one. Over time, the songs, books and movies written about stories that involved love, love letters and communication that lead to romance are almost innumerable. So many relationships alleged to be matches "made in heaven" and so many other stories of love unrequited and broken hearts. They're interesting to so many in part because being truly in love with someone is a powerful thing and something that seems to fill a part of an inherant need in us. Of cours
