Though we recognize it everyday, today is a special day that we have set apart to celebrate love. All kinds of love - brotherly love, familial love, and romantic love. Particularly romantic love.
We refer to people as our Valentines. Our pair, our date for the day, now matter how we celebrate.
And in that spirit, to my Valentine, I say…
Our evening dinner dates may be rare. Our day may have been spent at work. But there is no one that I would rather spent the day with.
I love you gorgeous.
Bigger than Godzilla.
All the way to the moon.
To infinity and beyond.
To the ends of the earth...
Until you read this and correct me, I love you more!
"Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date;
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature’s changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st;
Nor shall death brag thou wander’st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee."
