I’m already reminded several times a day that I’m single, and that the object of my affection is both far away and out of reach. I’ve tried avoiding things that remind me of him, but I find that I can’t avoid the way that I laugh, the table that needs $7.37 in change, or the 5 lb jug of licorice at the checkout. This time of year, however, presents more opportunities to be reminded. On a midnight run to Wal*Mart tonight for velcro I found myself hurrying past the 5 seasonal aisles overflowing with red and pink fluff. I laughed out loud to myself and thought about how long the days until February 14th will seem. Not that I long for candy hearts and stuffed bears. What I want you can’t buy in a store…(I learned something from the Grinch!). *bites lip* It’s bittersweet though. I can’t pretend that seeing boxes of valentine cards and chocolate roses just makes me sad….it’s so sentimental and sappy and I love it. The spirit of valentines day is sweet…how wonderful to have a holiday dedicated to telling those that we love that we love them! So…maybe if I get a jump on the hoilday, and send my deepest valentine wish ahead of time I can save myself the prickles and twinges of jealousy everytime I walk past something heart-shaped and pink…here it is:

*whispers*
all of me loves all of you
I’m yours
*6-minute hug*
I miss you baby.
