I'm staring at this single, blood-red, long-stemmed rose resting idly on my workstation. An office colleague was thoughtful and sweet enough to give us ladies at work a rose this Valentine's Day.
And then, just like that, I couldn't get this thought out of my head.
What if you and I had never met?
What if I hadn't sat beside Sugar that day?
What if she'd never been friends with you at all?
What if I was still with that creep of an ex-boyfriend?
What if you and your ex-girlfriend decided to give your relationship one more shot? Even worse, what if she said yes?
What if you weren't in Singapore?
What if I didn't have a blog? Or if I did, what if I only wrote about the really dark, depressing stuff and scared you off even before we had the chance to meet in person?
What if I ignored my phone the first time you called?
What if I didn't believe in long-distance relationships?
Well, I don't even want to know the answers. Just the thought of our lives taking a different turn and leading us to totally opposite directions paralyzes me.
Now that I met you, now that I know you, now that I have you, I cannot imagine having and loving and being with anybody else.
So this is me being grateful and feeling lucky. Allow me to be sappy on this most romantic day of the calendar year. I'm writing this short thank you note with a clear head and a full heart, and CC-ing all the cupids and lucky stars and gracious saints and serendipity for making you and me happen.
I love you and the love story that we are everyday creating.
Oh, and yes, Happy Valentine's Day! ♥
