I met probably the most influential man in my life 13 years ago today. I was and still am completely crazy about him. Together we were WONDERFUL, together we were MISERABLE, for 10 years, off and on. I decided I couldn’t wait for him anymore after that.
I married someone else recently, who I care very much about. He is wonderful, was willing to give me a child and capable of giving me stability and support - things the other never was willing/capable of doing.
Still Valentine’s Day will always hold the other’s person in context.
