i'm not sure why i've been thinking about valentines day so much this year. its not like we've ever really celebrated it before and nor is it the case that i suddenly need to start celebrating it now. its always been a day of blatant commercialism to us and it always will be. however it has made me think about our relationship and i guess its made me see things in a new light. i never really considered my relationship with the coolest guy as a romantic one. in my mind we have always been the best of friends who have great sex. but when i look in the store windows at the flowers and chocolates i realise just how good i've got it. the coolest guy and i have never needed a reason to have a champagne breakfast in bed (other than its fun), we have living room floor picnics by candlelight, we often take baths together (where we talk and drink wine) and once in a while we book ourselves into a swanky hotel, for a night or two, and spend afternoons draining the mini bar and enjoying the crisp white sheets of the bed, before heading out to dinner. this is the way we live our lives together.
the only gift i remember receiving from the coolest guy on valentines day was the one he bought me the very first year we were truly together. i was living with 3 other girls and they all got the usual flowers and teddy bear crap. i, however, got a book on how to play chess. a strange valentines gift in comparison to my friends. however, i still have that book with its silly inscription that still makes me smile. i have a permanent reminder that someone cared enough to buy me something they knew i would really like, and, well, their flowers are long dead.
