Between the Lines

That's how they say it: He loves you in his own way. Well, what about my way? What if I need for him to love me in my way?

What do you say when the feelings don't fit into words?

She's the ultimate heroine, strong-willed and independent, intelligent, loyal, but at the same time, she's not flawless, she's not above mistakes, or falling in love.
