I bought myself Born To Die by Lana Del Rey on vinyl for Valentineās Day. Itās the sexiest looking record in my collection.
My love brought me roses.
āBabe I told you not to buy roses on Valentineās Day, they inflate the prices, Iād be happy with dandelions, you donāt gotta do all this!ā Iām grateful but I donāt want her to feel like I expect this sort of thing. I donāt need a fuss.
She smiles, and says āItās a good thing you donāt make the rules.ā She kisses me. She understands. Iām not used to anyone making this kind of effort. They smell incredible. The whole room is filled with their fragrance.
For Valentineās Day I gave her a key to my house. A fancy key, and it opens my front door. Sheās the only other person who has a key, I want her to feel welcome in my home. I want her to be able to let herself in.
My horoscope said I need to consider how the doors and windows of my soul are working. Theyāre candy apple red and theyāre open.
