I was quite chagrined when I learned that he had ordered it several weeks before, and was not able to pick it up until that very day. Naturally, I covered my embarrassment by getting mad at him. I haven't received any jewelry on Valentine's Day since then. I don't need some greeting card company to tell me when to express my love. I don't need to be told where or when to be romantic.
Romance occurs in a thousand little ways each and every day.
This song captures the essesence of what Valentine's Day misses. When my husband calls me from work to tell me that he misses me, I feel loved. When my daughter's face lights up as I pick her up from school, my soul warms. Feeling my newborn's sleepy breath on my neck is the most romantic feeling in the world. It's not greeting cards or candy hearts that define love.
