you may find that the reflection doesnt touch the bottom of the word, seee below for how it should look...
if it doesnt, do not worry just adjust the nodes in the viewing window till you are happy with the alignement.

now add a tube of choice, I used the artwork of keith Garvey....
copy and paste the tube onto your canvas, duplicate it and slide 1 tube underneath the word LOVE.
add a drop shadow to the bottom tube..
Now select yor eraser tool, it looks like a pencil with a rubber on the end. and using these settings
making sure your top tube is the active layer..
carefully erase her legs where the right half of the letter 'O' and the left part of the letter 'V'
it doesnt have to be super neat as the bottom tube will fill in the blanks ...
