What is Love?

What is love?

Love is kissing me on the forehead whenever I feel sad. Love is taking care of each other when sick. Love is protecting me from ones that are unkind or rude. Love is holding each other as we fall asleep. Love is talking about not only the important stuff but the trivial stuff as well. Love is sharing a good laugh together. Love is being there when times get tough. Love is making me feel special and accepting me for who I am. Love is understanding. Love is not trying to change me even though that me may not be perfect. Love is patience that goes beyond what you think you had. Love is unconditional. Love is knowing that you will be in each other's hearts for the rest of your lives. Love is indescribable. Love is unexplainable.

There aren't enough words or thoughts to describe what love is. It is unspoken. It appears but never leaves.

That is what love is in my world (or at least what I can put into words). I love being in love!

Valentine's Day Eve

Tomorrow is Valentine's Day. My first Valentine's Day in a long while that I have a valentine to share the day with. I just got done making my gift for him, 2 dozen brownie cupcakes with butter cream frosting all made from scratch. It was the first time I have wanted to give a gift to someone on this holiday. Even when I had a boyfriend, we never celebrated on this day and we never exchanged gifts. This year, I wanted to do something special.

I am not sure what our plans are for the holiday. We had a conversation a few days ago about how he hates this day and usually doesn't celebrate it at all. I don't know if that was because he was single before so he shut the day out, or if he really hates this holiday and that even with a girlfriend he refuses to acknowledge the day. Or if he said all that to make me think that we aren't doing anything and then he will surprise me even more.

No idea. I am hopeful that we will spend the day in a special way. I hope that he plans something for me...but maybe I shouldn't ask for it. I should just be happy. I do have him after all. But it would be nice to have a little romance on a day that calls for it.
