happy valentine's day!its kinda ironic making this statement, when mine is not at all happy.
well, looked for a restaurant and cheap-er flowers for this good friend of mine...he gets to enjoy the fun while i enjoy the loneliness.
it's not even a date with myself.
i guess i can't complain anymore. firstly because i'm not in a position to, and secondly, it doesn't help improve the situation.
i was thinking on my way home today, whatever what that he wants to regard me as, or treat me in a future, i shall let it be...i'm tired. if i don't have a place in that person's life, then so be it.
can't believe i have to do work on such a...day.
to end off, my favourite poem. Valentine's.
Valentine
Not a red rose or a satin heart.
I give you an onion.
It is a moon wrapped in brown paper.
It promises light
like the careful undressing of love.
Here.
It will blind you with tears
like a lover.
It will make your reflection
a wobbling photo of grief.
I am trying to be truthful.
Not a cute card or kissogram.
I give you an onion.
Its fierce kiss will stay on your lips,
possessive and faithful
as we are,
for as long as we are.
Take it.
Its platinum loops shrink to a wedding ring,
if you like.
Lethal.
Its scent will cling to your fingers,
cling to your knife.
-- Carol Ann Duffy
