I bought myself Born To Die by Lana Del Rey on vinyl for Valentineโs Day. Itโs the sexiest looking record in my collection.
My love brought me roses.
โBabe I told you not to buy roses on Valentineโs Day, they inflate the prices, Iโd be happy with dandelions, you donโt gotta do all this!โ Iโm grateful but I donโt want her to feel like I expect this sort of thing. I donโt need a fuss.
She smiles, and says โItโs a good thing you donโt make the rules.โ She kisses me. She understands. Iโm not used to anyone making this kind of effort. They smell incredible. The whole room is filled with their fragrance.
For Valentineโs Day I gave her a key to my house. A fancy key, and it opens my front door. Sheโs the only other person who has a key, I want her to feel welcome in my home. I want her to be able to let herself in.
My horoscope said I need to consider how the doors and windows of my soul are working. Theyโre candy apple red and theyโre open.
