It is a cruel world when you find yourself without candy or chocolate on Valentines. But albeit that you don't receive any from a stranger, I say we are better off! There are times when being alone is not so bad. Apartment clean, check. TV to keep me company, check. Will I pull a Bridget Jones and find myself better off than with my ex? An adamant YES! I hope I spelled that word correctly. Please do control me if my errors in life get off balance. I have to translate an entire book very soon into English from French. It is a sad world to be all by my lonesome but I can explore it and have more fun that way, too. This rose chose to keep its thorns If the wind blows and cars toot their horns without hesitation I will tell them to leave me alone Big words for a young spirit like a star showing it glows the moonlit night leaves little room for gestures too wild too uncontrolled please do not listen to my cries for help I get by very well on my own, cooking, cleaning, and throwing caution. There is a control panel to set my tv on video, I will not be bored by my own voice or radio, Books, or leftovers to cook do me no harm I will get through the day with simplicity and charm But I hate Valentine's Day it's true Since I cried all day when my first crush said. Damn, you got ugly feet. One should never answer the door barefoot, or keep nothing from everybody a secret. Life is tarnished with the blues, nice to have a bit of red in there even if its just to share between me and me. I know you think so too. Stop pretending a passion-free life is the way to go, and stop crying in blue. Tous les interdits, on se perd dans la couleur. En rouge et noir. I don't mind blue or red, when you think black, the only thing left being death. I say look for the light, buy your own candy. A nice cinnamon heart, tangy and sweet like poetry in the mouth. If you find yourself alone or not, never mind the suspense, share smiles with everyone you meet. Who needs one simple day out of a whole year to give this very simple treat? Saying I love you is free and greatly encourages those in need. Like me and me or you and you. Yes it's true. You can just look in the mirror gracefully too. What the heck, I think I will wear make-up. Normally, I am full square against. Happy V-day to everyone who reads this. May you find your true love, or squeeze dearly the one you now love, even if that means just patting yourself on the back. Sound pathetic? Maybe, but who's watching?
