I hear you. A few years back I had been going through my place trying to clean things out when I came across a little stack of elementary school Valentine's cards I had kept for some reason. Reading them with "older eyes" it struck me how although the cards themselves were pretty sappy, the way they were signed held such a sense of childlike love and innocence. Needless to say, instead of putting them in the trash pile, I decided to hold onto them a little longer. :-)
Oh lord, I am in so much trouble, I left a valentine's card
and a bar of imported chocolate for my bank's assistant manager, who I just met last week, and who just happend to
mention to me that she was single.
I've been living alone too long and have now lost my mind!
I can only plead that I was overcome by maudlin sentimentality and hope for the best.
Pray for me.
