be my valentine.

Behind the whole ihatetheworldthatiswhyidon’tcombmyhairandlistentodepressingsongs “image”, I am actually a true sucker for Valentine’s Day. The chocolates and the big hugs and the flowers and the love-is-in-the-air aura and the shops decorated with pink hearts and red hearts and the whole shabbang. It makes me nauseatingly giddy and giggly and ugh, I just really like it. Sigh. Don’t you? :D

Yes yes, I know it is just a marketing strategy, damn these companies overprice everything today and gawd so many couples will be out tonight. But despite all that, and also the presents and cards, I think it’s nice. To have one day where you can really truly show the person you love how much you care. And yes, I know I know. If two people are in love, why would they need one day to show the other how much they care, and yes yes you should show affection everyday and everyday should be Valentine’s Day. But ya know what I think. Sometimes you forget to show you care, sometimes you’re too busy to take your lovelove out for a romantic date, sometimes you’re both too busy to sit down and have a decent night out, sometimes people just don’t bother anymore.

To me, Vday is not a day where you HAVETOHAVETO buy chocolates and flowers and write a sonnet to declare your undying love towards your lover. To me, Valentine’s Day is just simply a day where you take the extra time to appreciate your loved ones, show them you care, to tell them you love them, to give them a hug. You don’t have to wear fancy clothes and go out to fancy restaurants. To me it’s all about appreciation.

And here I am appreciating you.

because even though you don’t give a hoot about Valentine’s Day,
you try to give a hoot about it for me.

Aww shucks do you know how much I love you?
Happy Valentine’s Day Irfan.
Let’s hope this one shall be the one and only one apart, mmkay?
I love you. No really, I do.
To the moon to the sun to the stars.
