Is it a love a story? A tale so deep and intimate that it can never be totally explained? For copy editor Gary Budd, it’s not only that, it’s a personal history that must never be published.

Is love something more tangible? Is it the way our bodies align? Is it the rawness of sensation that is at its very core? Or is it just another fetish?

Maybe love has nothing to do with another person even though we may convince ourselves that it does. Maybe the saying is true that “We are not free to love another until we can learn to love ourselves first.”
