Valentine’s Day is just around the corner! It’s the day of love, chocolate, hearts, roses and all that. But for some, it can be about other ways to get that warm and fuzzy feeling without all the cliché.
Valentine’s Day
Sure,
I would happily accept
your heart full of chocolate
your bundle of rose buds
your bottle of wine
(preferably red, thanks)
But the truth is,
All I really need for Valentine’s Day
Is the time to check in
With all that brings me joy in this world
Love, of course
But also sweet friendships
And giggling babies
And those videos of dogs recognizing their
owners after being separated for years
And when things are supposed to be serious and
appropriate but then someone gets
the giggles and everyone falls apart laughing
Oh, and a perfect teacup
And a good twenty second hug
And that sneeze that hits at just the right time
and makes everything suddenly feel better
Just that.
Happy Valentine’s Day
And would you scootch over here for a hug?
