Hey, Valentine

I’m not looking at my phone this year, waiting.

I’ve spent a handful of Valentine’s Days waiting. I mostly remember the ones where I was waiting, if I’m honest.

Maybe he’s the Big Gesture type.

Maybe the card gets here tomorrow.

Maybe he’ll call at lunch.

Maybe he’ll call after work.

Maybe he’ll call later.

Hoping, hoping, hoping.

Anyway.

My Valentine’s Day love…
