Happy Valentine's Day :D

Love, Love, Love, Love lots of love is in the air!

Lovers' favourite day has arrived! Secret Admirers, flowers, chocolates' boxes, love cards, love letters and many others.

And, in my case, 'custard cream biscuits' ( I absolutely love them) and my secret admirer must have known that!

Moreover, wandering around the wwweb, my attention was first focused on Google. How cute is the 2015's Valentine's Day doodle?

I kinda spent five minutes watching it over and over again.

As far as I'm concerned, this year I am spending Valentines Day for the first time away from my other half. This is so sad!

However, I have to say that I've been lucky enough to find some amazing ladiesss to spend this day with: my girl friends!

We've planned a pizza, chocolate, crisps night+moviesss+chitchat, basically a 'girls night' :)

And I am very much looking forward to it!

In any case, I have always thought that if you are in love, everyday should be your "Valentine's day" and every single moment should be deserving of sharing your love with the person you love.

Just because one day, in 365, gives you the excuse you to romantically dine with your girlfriend (or boyfriend), it doesn't mean that in the other 364 days you should avoid surprises or having a taken-for-granted attitude.

'LOVE' with capital letters, is something you should look after. You should not take it for granted, actually, you have to take care of it and consider that you can spend a hundred, a thousand years, looking for love, trying to make it stronger...but  its basis should never be missing: confidence, patience, understanding, love (of course) and a deep and authentic desire of being together.

Everytime,everywhere.

In conclusion (I know, some of you may have something better to do today, like...LOVE, rather than reading something about love haha), I would like to share with you one of my favourite poems and wish you a Happy Happy Happy Valentines Day!

This Love- Jacques Prévert

This love

So violent

So fragile

So tender

So hopeless

This love

Beautiful as the day

And bad as the weather

When the weather is bad

This love so true

This love so beautiful

So happy

So joyous

And so pathetic

Trembling with fear like a child in the dark

And so sure of itself

Like a tranquil man in the middle of the night

This love that made others afraid

That made them speak

That made them go pale

This love intently watched

Because we intently watch it

Run down hurt trampled finished denied forgotten

Because we ran it down hurt it trampled

it finished it denied it forgot it

This whole entire love

Still so lively

And so sunny

It's yours

It's mine

That which has been

This always new thing

And which hasn't changed

As true as a plant

As trembling as a bird

As warm as live as summer

We can both of us

Come and go

We can forget

And then go back to sleep

Wake up suffer grow old

Go back to sleep again

Awake smile and laugh

And feel younger

Our love stays there

Stubborn as an ass

Lively as desire

Cruel as memory

Foolish as regrets

Tender as remembrance

Cold as marble

Beautiful as day

Fragile as a child

It watches us, smiling 

And it speaks to us without saying a word

And me I listen to it, trembling

And I cry out

I cry out for you

I cry out for me

I beg you

For you for me for all who love each other

And who loved each other

Yes I cry out to it

For you for me and for all the others

That I don't know

Stay there

There where you are

There where you were in the past

Stay there

Don't move

Don't go away

We who loved each other

We've forgotten you

Don't forget us

We had only you on the earth

Don't let us become cold

Always so much farther away

And anywhere

Give us a sign of life

Much later on a dark night

In the forest of memory

Appear suddenly

Hold your hand out to us

And save us.

With all my love,

-C.L
