There is nothing to see here and that nothing gazes back.

Well that special day is almost upon us. The one where anyone that has someone relishes and everyone without someone hates.

Normally I would let this slide and let people have their fun but this year I have a particular animosity toward it having been burned fairly harshly by someone who used to mean a lot to me

Everything is fleeting and nothing ever lasts. I learned a long time ago to enjoy what you have while its there because it will be gone sooner or later. I believe the sayings are "tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all" and "time heals all wounds". While I believe that they both hold some truth I still feel disillusioned each time the cycle ends and while I don't hesitate to ever try again it becomes less potent with each time. Its been a long time since I've really liked someone. I'm a hopeless romantic. While it may seem foolish to most I believe in one person. Many can come close and each will leave a lasting impression but, in the end I believe there will be one and only one. Even if you never find them.(which the odds are in favor of.)

All just rantings of an old soul I suppose. Still, whenever I spend the 14th alone I wonder if I will ever cross paths with the right one and if I'll know her if I do.
