Here's to the best Valentine's Day so far in my life!
I came to the realization last night that Valentine's Day does not have to be a celebration of you and your loved one, although it quite often is. I prefer, mostly out of self-preservation, to view it as a celebration of the principles of love. A celebration of love's power to inspire, to provoke, to enlighten, and to conquer everything. And through the actions of my friends, some of which may have otherwise gone unnoticed and some that should be splashed across banners, I experienced the satisfaction of seeing love in action today. While I myself may not be in a relationship at the moment, this does not stop me from believing in the principles of love and the wonderment that it contains. I was having doubts a few days ago about the very essense of love and today has cured me of all doubt I previously possesed. Love is beuatiful, inspiring, and in every sense of the word, awesome.
I love love.
And I love you... Happy Valentine's Day

for the sake of having you near.

But each time that I do, just the thought of you makes me stop
before I begin,
cause I’ve got you under my skin.”
Stand By Me - Ben E. King

When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek”
How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You) - James Taylor
“I close my eyes at night
Wondering where would I be without you in my life
Everything I did was just a bore
Everywhere I went it seems I'd been there before
But you brighten up for me all of my days
With a love so sweet in so many ways
I want to stop and thank you baby
I just want to stop and thank you baby
How sweet it is to be loved by you”
