Happy Valentine's day

Love.  Happy 'love' day.  I love love.  It's such a great drug, no?
And it hasn't always been that way.  I was different in the past.  When I didn't have a boyfriend or a 'boy' to plan a special dinner, I was depressed.  I felt lonely and like a failure and there was something wrong with me.  I would even go deeper and think, how can I be such a failure in relationships, I must be such a loser and I should just call it quits now...Thank god I matured...I did!  Or, I evolved to some degree where I love Valentine's day no matter what boy or no boy is in my life to bring me flowers and take me to dinner.  I love celebrating LOVE, and realizing that love can come from so many different areas in my life, and I can GIVE love to some many people in my life.  I like rejoicing in all that love can be, and all that love has been in my life.  All that love was in my past, all that love can be in my future, and all that love is now...Thank you LOVE :)
                  
Dear Love,

Sometimes you kill me, you do.
When you tempt me with moments that make my heart flutter
When the kiss won't stop kissing
When the eyes pierce my soul with connection
When every flower becomes a diamond.

You kill me when you take that dreaded vacation,
That hiatus or winter break.
When you leave out of boredom or failing communication
Or maybe you leave to teach me something
Or maybe I leave out of fear of you rejecting me.
But I am here to say on Valentine's day,
Here to tell you what I should say every day,
That I like you more when you are around,
And I promise to appreciate you more
The next time you stop by my door.
And I promise to learn and apply
The feelings from before I let pass me by.
And now I know from before,
All the flowers I ignored,
And, well, never mind I won't be shy,
Just say 'hi', I'm just sayin 'hi'...
