Love Letter

For all you lovebirds out there, this one is for you…

Despite the gross commercialization of Valentines Day I thought it would be nice to spend some time (alone) on the couch contemplating the romantic film. I’m not talking Casablanca, An Affair to Remember, or (heaven forbid) Sleepless in Seattle - all acceptable midday movie viewing. There are five films that made me think it was worth hoping for.

For those of you happily paired I hope your sweetie does remember the overpriced flowers – or the equivalent thereof.

For those of you recently heartbroken I hope your friends remember to call you and wish you well.

For those of you that could care less, remember you cynics – it’s just a day for people to say I love you, it doesn’t have to involve chocolate.

And for those of you with a secret crush on someone now is the time to strike – you’d be surprised how this day can work in you favour (go on!)

And for those of us who know it will pass without a whisper - hit the couch
