It’s almost that time again - - time to reminisce.
I remember the days when I always said that prayer or made that wish for a Valentine. A wish for someone to spend your ’special day’ with. A prayer for someone who will give you a kiss, a hug, a smile or someone to exchange valentine’s gifts with.. someone to listen to what you have to say, when nobody else will. Someone who looks at you and could see nothing but the best in you, the beauty in you. Year after year I will make that wish. The Valentine never came.
Then, after 10 years - right at the moment that I let go - the instant that I said, ‘It doesn’t matter’, my knight appeared. It happened at the most unexpected moment in my life. I wasn’t ready for it. That was four years ago. We are still together today.
I tried to make logic out of what happened. How and why did it play out that way? I kept trying to find a way to understand. One night, as I was sitting alone at home I thought, ‘I know why!!’ V came at a point in my life when finding a Valentine didn’t occupy my daily thought. I was ready to enjoy ‘me’. I had learned how to be happy - without V. I was content and I was ready to enjoy life, even if it is just ‘me’. It was that which made the difference. My knight saw me as one who no longer relied on ’someone else’ to experience LIFE! I didn’t project a person who will sit at home, wait by the phone, sulking, and waiting for V to call or write. I didn’t care what V was doing, what V was watching, and why V even mattered. This time, I’m going to be V!!! I thought to myself, I am important too.
I was coming home today, after long hours at work and late nights of blogging. I was tired, I was hungry, and I was ready to eat my dinner and sleep. As I drove to park at the lot, my headlights lit up the door to my house. There was a box sitting by the door. Instantly I knew. My knight sent me a bouquet of flowers fresh from Holland. I ran, took the box in and opened it. Inside the box lay two dozen red roses!!! All because, I stopped looking for V, and V has found me. I LOVE YOU POOH!!
