Today, as the Hallmark designated day to
"show" how much one cares... I could go into the history of the day,
or the mockery that many have made of it, the mythology behind Cupid, the cynicism associated with it or the
buffoonery grieving hearts and tactless fools make of it… but I prefer not to.
Instead I’m going to embrace the day; and delight
myself in the smiles behind the sweet private thoughts, the anxiousness of
expectant souls, the innocence behind the classroom cards exchange, the thought
behind the love letter, the choice between the arrangements, the desire to
please a loved one, the courage behind the questions, the pleasure of a
reciprocal answer, the meditation behind the itinerary, the way they look at
each other, or simply put: The Love.
And today, I CHOOSE to be greedy... not having
one of my own, I'm declaring you ALL
...MY dear sweet Valentines!
...MY dear sweet Valentines!
There are some things I wish all my loved ones
knew and on account of our recent bond, Dear Sweet Valentines, I'm want to share with you all as well. Besides, I think we’d be surprise to learn how many can relate to such things:
We will never fully understand the impact we
make in the lives of others...you'd do well to remember this.
Many can't communicate exactly how much they
appreciate you {and it’s not for my lack
of trying}..
..doesn't mean they don't.
Those lingering looks, smiles, touches say
more than a thousand words might be able to... indulge in those.
Everyone {especially
me} Loves in their own way...bask in the diversity.
Distance and time CANNOT and WILL NOT make me
care for you less... MY mind {and heart} is a powerful thing ;-)
My sweet-smile-provoking memories are a
silent, secret tribute to you and our time together..
.. thank you for that.
I’ve realized these things about myself and/or
discovered them in others, and with every acknowledgement and every discovery
there is an underlining sweetness and a deeper fondness formed with the people
in your lives.
Treat each other well, Love ‘with both hands’
and enjoy the day.
Happy Valentine’s Day, My Dear Sweet
Valentines.
Lex
