Valentine’s Day Part Duex
So, it was not like I wanted it to be. It’s funny how quickly opinions can change. I went from being excited to celebrate this day of love and romance, to not wanting to wake up to the real world. All day, people of all sorts would go into my work and you could tell how they felt. Groups of guys would walk in, all talking about their afternoon dinner plans, while the one bitter guy who did not have a girlfriend would be talk their shit on how overrated Valentine’s Day is, and how he’s the only smart one for not celebrating it. Couples would sit close together while they ate, and the boy would buy everything the girl wanted. Kids would walk in eating their chocolates, I saw it all. And while I felt lonely, I still felt a sense of peace. I didn’t plan on seeing Renee, I didn’t know if it would be a good idea, but I hoped. And to my surprise, she showed up at my work just in time for my lunch break. She had my favorite chocolate covered cherries in one hand, and a home made cupcake in the other. We sat in my car for a good while and talked about how we felt. It’s really nice knowing I’m not alone, I’ll always have her. I wanted this Valentine’s Day to be epic, and it was very close to being the exact opposite. And that’s okay.
