Ok, I admit I've been an absolutely usless LJ friend of late. I'm not updating, I'm not sharing music, I'm barely commenting. I apologize. On this, the day of love and relationships, I wanted to be sure to check in and tell you girls (and guys) that I value you all very much, and appreciate the support and friendship you've offered me over my years here on LJ. Even though I'm not around a lot right now, you're in my mind, and I hope all is well with all of you.
Whether you have someone special to share the day with, or you're going out to get drunk with friends, or you're watching a movie at home alone, I hope you have a great day and know that you're loved.
With that, I wanted to share one of the most romantic pieces of writing I've ever seen:
I've been looking at you as you lie here beside me on this fifteenth anniversary and wondering why everyone has only just discovered you are the First Lady. You've been the First- in fact the only- to me for fifteen years.
That sounds so strange- "fifteen years". It still seems like minutes, they've gone by so swiftly. If I have any regret it is only for the days we've been apart and I've had to awaken without watching you. Someday you'll have to explain to me how you can be five years old when you sleep and for five years yet. But then maybe it has something to do with my only being fifteen- because I wasn't living before I began watching you.

Much love, folks. Much, much love.
