I know for most this isn't that great of a day, but it is still about loving...maybe it does need to be reciprocated. :P
Today brings back memories of last Valentine's day when my XW was still a WAW. We went out to eat, the kids and I, and she joined us after going to the gym. She was rethinking being separated from me. She questioned trying again. She kissed me goodbye...a kiss initiated by her. I felt I was on the path to reconciliation. It only took another 11 months. Funny world hunh? It is amazingly different to find that this Valentine's day I have her back to celebrate it with. Very cool.
I saw this video on CMT a couple times and it really is quite applicable to many, especially those of you in the "divorced but not done" section. Here are the lyrics:
Quote: Postcards and letters And pictures made to last forever To be boxed up and tossed away Knickknacks and souvenirs In an afternoon, they're out of here They'll disappear without a trace But what they mean to me Can never be replaced.
I can't unthink about you I can't unfeel your touch I can't unhear all the words Unsay all the things That used to mean so much I wish I could unremember Everything my heart's been through And finding out it's impossible to do Oh, it's no use I can't unlove you.
Interstates and old songs Like time they go on and on I guess I could learn to do the same I could wake up without you These two arms not around you Tell myself it's meant to be this way No matter how I try I can't change.
I can't unthink about you I can't unfeel your touch I can't unhear all the words Unsay all the things That used to mean so much I wish I could unremember Everything my heart's been through And finding out it's impossible to do Oh, it's no use I can't unlove you.
Try to enjoy Valentine's day today as much as possible. If nothing else then love yourself.
Me
