On Valentine’s Day, I have one problem. Should I or shouldn’t I? That is to say, should I bring my true love flowers and candy? For now let me think about that.
It all started about sixteen years ago leaving after work to visit my true love, I drove hours upon hours for a short time of pure pleasure. It wasn’t just a one-night thrill, I knew in my heart that this was to be a long-term relationship. The visitations were getting more and more often. I would visit before and after classes and work. My thoughts would be only of my love; you might say I was obsessed. After a few years, I decided to make a commitment. I knew that in the back of my mind I was seeing rings. I tried to put it out of my mind. People told me, "You’re too young, you have the rest of your life." As the month of April approached, I saw that ring and had to go after it. This caused some fights. Some were long and some short, but in the end I realized I had a keeper.
Back to my question, should I or shouldn’t I bring my true love flowers and candy? What else but "yes", however whom would I give it to? This is a good question, the loveable rainbow; the elusive brown, or the soft-sided brookie. If they would take flowers and candy, I would surely give it to them. Instead, they sit on my kitchen table in hopes that I may go fishing again, tomorrow. Hopefully the flowers help you to go too.
