I just want you to know that I love you. And that you’re so important to me. You’ve really been there for me, and I appreciate u. I know Valentine’s Day is a bullshit holiday made up by Hallmark, but I just want u 2 know that I appreciate u. I know ur insecure, so I can’t really ‘blow off’ today like it’s just another day, because honoring these holidays is critical to a relationship being successful. U have to get excited about things, or else life will become ‘boring’ and ‘meaningless.’
I will go to the mall, and buy you some thoughtful/too-expensive items so that you don’t think I don’t honor you. I want to be with you. I want to buy you an iTunes gift card. I want to buy you a ‘keut pair of panties’ from Victoria’s secret that I can ‘take off of u’ when we ‘make love.’
Let’s go out to Chili’s. Let’s fill up our bellies with hamburgers, nachos, skillet queso, SXSWestern Eggrolls, and Bud Light. Let’s be happy. Let’s feed one another across the table. Today is a celebration of love between you and me.

We’ve been through a lot. I remember when we first started dating, it was like we’d never get past the pain that others have inflicted upon us/what we have inflicted upon ourselves’. But now we’re comfortable. We’re calm. We have sex 3-6x per week (depending on how stressed I am from my job as a manager at Am Appy). We’ve just been through a lot.
I remember my exBF. He was really controlling. Ur different. U let me be ‘who I am’ and for that ‘I appreciate u.’ I know that my sense of humor is sometimes tough to handle, since it is so random, and so zany–thanks for sticking with me. U really help to make me ‘me.’
h8 my ex

This Valentine’s Day will be special. We will feed one another Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups shaped like hearts. I will buy you some champagne/$10 sugar water that gives u a hangover. Even though the holiday ‘means nothing’, it means SOMETHING to us, because we are US, and no other relationship in the history of the world has ever meant as much as we do.
We are taking on the world together. We can do this.
One day we will open up a public art space together, and have positive community events.
One day, we’re going to live in Paris. I promise. I’m on it.
I love you.
<3 u / miss u
