Happy Valentine's Day: Have Faith in Love

They say time takes it's toll on a body

Makes the young girl's brown hair turn grey

But honey, I don't care, I aint in love with your hair

And if it all fell out well I'd love you anyway

They say time can play tricks on a memory

Make people forget things they knew

But it's easy to see it's happening to me

I've already forgotten every woman but you.
~ Randy Travis

I can't make you love me, if you don't. ~ Bonnie Raitt

Love Stinks. ~ J. Geils Band

It's Valentine's Day, the day one enjoys when in a relationship or at least has the potential of a relationship. Otherwise, it is a reminder that you are alone and no one loves you. No one is sending you roses and you want to choke the women who don't appreciate receiving them (yes, they do exist).  What's wrong with me?, one could whine.

I got my heart broken two years ago. I believed in everything about us, but it failed a long time before it finally ended; I still believe in us.

I still have faith in love but back off, Hallmark. You aren't going to make me feel bad. The easiest thing to do would be to play the victim, one of the casualties of love gone wrong.  It would be easy to be cynical and give up on love altogether. Why would one want to do that? The only thing I am willing to do is to give up on Hallmark's idea of  love and Hollywood's and the Playboy Channel's idea of love.  Love comes to us in many ways. Cherish it. Have faith in it. Above all, don't believe you are somehow inadequate if you are not part of a couple on Valentine's Day.

'Whatever you give a woman, she will make greater. If you give her sperm, she'll give you a baby. If you give her a house, she'll give you a home. If you give her groceries, she'll give you a meal. If you give her a smile, she'll give you her heart. She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her. So, if you give her any crap, be ready to receive a ton of shit.'  ~ author unknown. Now, that's love.
