I like Valentine's Day, the pretty colors, the hearts and the cute little Valentine's Day cards and candies. However, I hate that its so much pressure to prove your love of affection for someone through expensive and outlandish gifts.
For me this year that will be impossible. It seems like it was literally just Christmas. Both my boyfriend and his other daughters bday's are in Feb. His other kids was last week. Ugh. There's no way I can afford anything really great for V-Day and I know he realizes that nor do I want or expect anything extravagant.
That being said, I'll maybe make some special dinner for all of us or get him a growler of his favorite beer from this microbrewery we like.
So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,
blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?
