reluctant hearts

 

tell me a story...

of candy hearts
and silly cards
a romantic dinner for two.
with candlelight
and red, red wine
and a loving kiss from you.

No hearts please

 

Here we are again at Valentine's Day... I had planned to send Hearty cards to my single girlfriends. Then I changed my mind - I will not buy into this notion that we are nothing if we do not receive cards, flowers and/or candy on V-Day. Fuck cupid! Fuck love!

the heart

My first thought was to just avoid the whole Valentine's Day hoopla... have a heart-less day, sorta. It seems that I would have to hide under my bed in order to do that, so I am now just trying not to be a Debbie Downer... a wet, red, hearts-and-flowers blanket on everyone else's hoopla.

Trying....
