February 14th. A date which haunts and a date which brings back lots of memories - good, bad and ugly!
Remember the first boy or girl you set eyes on when you were at school? Remember the first letters you wrote to declare your feelings... remember your first time you held hands and felt a sense of excitement coursing through your veins, the first time you went out and spent ages doing your hair and smelling lovely. remember?
The world seems a thousand times more beautiful when you have someone to think about and someone who fancies you... Everything else seems to simply melt away. Life suddenly becomes an adventure and every gesture seems to denote some meaning.
Why do these feelings erode with growing up and having to live life in the real world? I say they never go away when you know where to look...
Recapture those moments. Make a date, get your hair done, put on your favourite dress and ask for... an armful of flowers! Not forgetting the chocolates and champagne.
Have a great night out and stare at the stars, but most of all, don't forget to hold hands.
Long live love!
