Valentine's Day
Next Friday will be the first Valentine's Day since 2000 that I won't have anyone to share it with. This year I won't receive a special package in the mail with the scent of someone I love. Nor will I go on a long romantic walk with a lover followed by a candle lit dinner lovingly prepared to seduce the tongue and the person. I will not phone up a special someone, bask in her lovely voice and tell her how important she is and how much I love her. No, chances are, I'll try my hardest to ignore the happiness of couple engaged in lip locked enbraces and go about my business. What else can I do?
