…you’re not really.
There are millions, just like you who either don’t acknowledge this day as anything to do with ‘love’ or find themselves alone either by choice or by circumstance.
So no – you’re not alone.
And if you feel you need a greeting – say ‘Happy Valentine’s Day’ to yourself.
Take all those images, sayings and special touches applied to this day – turn them around to face you.
Take yourself out and do something that makes you feel wonderful – because you must be.
We are all worthy of a celebration every day of the year – not just today.
I’ve seen all of these movies and couldn’t resist sharing these quotes because I know, if you want love it will find you… eventually – if you let it.
Committed Skin
I crave committed
skin. Pale, pink tones
of a fragile heart.
Silky strands tantalize.
Forest of words
– thoughts, forcing
forward movement
careful continuation of
soft, subtle actions.
Reassurances
given, refusing
to provide any more until…
absolutely sure,
when our surfaces
eventually meet
– rub together in love-making,
no other skin will suit.
