I'm sorry, I know our love is unconventional and unfit for the heart-shaped sugar cookies and swirly, red greeting cards. Even so, will you buy into the conventions and commercialism, just for a day, and be my Valentine?

Valentine
We fight like cats and dogs, you and I, but there is no doubt, that if I were to spend the rest of my life fighting someone, I'd want it to be you, just so that if I were to spend the rest of my like making up with someone, then it would be with you too. I can barely stand to talk to you sometimes, but you're always the first one I want to call and tell the news. Sounds a little weird and crazy, but I'm crazy, crazy, crazy in love.

I like how this post avoids the syrupy Hallmark greeting, which often assumes that if one is in love, one must also be in full agreement with the other. But loves allows people to express themselves, even if they are different, and still to be loved. Sometimes that leads to the "cat and dog fighting," but it also can lead to compromise and a deepening of ourselves because we learn so much from those we are close to.
