If I was truthful, I’d say I hate Valentine’s Day. Because of all the commercialism, because every single restaurant sees fit to hike up their prices exorbitantly, because of all the teddy’s, roses and other puke-worthy items that suddenly come into focus as businesses push to garner as much money as possible from gullible idiots.
But, if I were really honest with myself, I’d say I loathe Valentine’s Day because… Because in most cases, it serves as a reminder of how alone I feel at times. Of how, while the majority of my friends are beginning to settle down with their partners, I am still partnerless. It reminds me that I have not found the one who’ll make me want to build a life with him, and it is a stark reminder that as much as I would love to have a career, deep down, I also want a family just as bad.
Alone. Five letters. One very scary word.
Valentine’s Day - Linkin Park (Lyrics from A-to-Z Lyrics)
My insides all turned to ash, so slow
And blew away as I collapsed, so cold
A black wind took them away, from sight
And held the darkness over day, that night
And the clouds above move closer
Looking so dissatisfied
But the heartless wind kept blowing, blowing
I used to be my own protection, but not now
Cause my path had lost direction, somehow
A black wind took you away, from sight
And held the darkness over day, that night
And the clouds above move closer
Looking so dissatisfied
And the ground below grew colder
As they put you down inside
But the heartless wind kept blowing, blowing
So now you’re gone, and I was wrong
I never knew what it was like, to be alone
On a Valentine’s Day, on a Valentine’s Day
On a Valentine’s Day, on a Valentine’s Day
On a Valentine’s Day, on a Valentine’s Day
(I used to be my own protection, but not now)
On a Valentine’s Day, on a Valentine’s Day
(Cause my mind has lost direction, somehow)
On a Valentine’s Day, on a Valentine’s Day
(I used to be my own protection, but not now)
On a Valentine’s Day, on a Valentine’s Day
(Cause my mind has lost direction, somehow)
