I've spent all week working to make Valentine's Day special for other people. Tomorrow, when every last rose and every pink carnation has found its way into the hearts and homes of local women, I will put my floral knife away. I will sweep up the petals and left over leaves and I will go home. Alone and guaranteed, exhausted. But cupid will not have forgotten me. My phone will ring and a voice, 6,000 miles away, will make me laugh and swoon. And we'll make plans across those miles. Plans to buy chocolates and roses and walk by the sea. We'll be Valentines in Spring, the Gypsy King and me.
Those sound like wonderful plans indeed, Graciel. This post made me smile. Happy Valentine's Day to you!

The love between you and your Gypsy King seems "right" to me, as well. :-)
Hurray for plans! Happy Valentines day to you! xx
