No one can take those memories away from you. They'll always be YOURS. I can understand why you're down today. I freaking HATE V-day. Always have, always will. I remember my first V-day without my first love and it soured me from there. 12 hours to go until this miserable day is over. That's all I do is count it down.
Everyone has such nice, romantic meeting stories. When I met my H, we HATED each other. For two years. I still remember our first interchange... me: "well you don't need to be such an a$$ about it." H: "And you don't need to be such a b&tch." And we were off to the races...
Hahahaha... kind of funny thinking back on it now.
