February 14th
I get a Red Sharpie and put a big 'X' over February 14th.
God, I hate Valentine's Day.
Not just the concept - of getting together with a loved one and sharing something special with them. I mean, you can do that any time.
But just the whole thing. The couples on the street, the judgement of being single, and the pain of seeing who you love not love you.
Is it that obvious my heart is breaking?
Sadness as I walk through the streets.
Sadness as I see couples walk by, hand-in-hand.
Sadness as I stand in the doorway, no chocolates,
no gifts, no love.
Sadness as I see her kiss another person,
another guy, or another girl.
That's all Valentines Day is for me - sadness. And I hate it. I can't wait for it to be over. But it's not just a day. As long as chocolates are still on sale people will find excuses to love their partner more than any other day.
And I want to feel happy for her. I really do. But when she refers to herself and me she says 'you and me,' but sometimes I wish she would say 'us,'.
