The Way You Make Me Feel

Ken

It's 3 weeks before Valentine's Day.

A message pops up in your mind and you think about what you would be doing with your girlfriend on V'Day.

You think of a candlelight dinner, at a fancy restaurant, followed by a slow dance, and then passing her your Valentine's card, hand made by yourself.

So, as the days go by, that thought still stays in your mind.

Then you think, Valentine's is on a Thursday. Your girlfriend has work on Thursday, but an off day on Wednesday.

So you planned it perfectly, with Wednesday, being the 13th, as well as the exact date where you and your girlfriend have been together for 4months, be the day you take your girlfriend out for that dinner.

So the days continue to pass by, and then a week from Valentine's, your girlfriend tells you she has to work full day for the rest of the week.

You get a setback. But then you figure out Plan B.

So you still get your girlfriend 7 red roses, 7 white roses and 7 blue daisies as 21 flowers marks her birthday which is the 21st of the last month of the year. You go through the trouble of making her a card till 3am in the morning the night before knowing you have a Maths quiz the next day.

So you wanted to surprise her during her work break. But then you won't know whether she's free then. So you told her that you'll be dropping by later, without any giveaways.

She then tells you she's not going to work. Thus, hope is restored.

Then again, she says her back hurts, and she couldn't go out. You get another setback. Harsh isn't it?

So you try to plan again for the next day, which is the actual Valentine's Day. Then, you just remembered, it's your family's open house for Chinese New Year. So, there goes your V'Day.

You thought of asking her to come, but then you put into consideration since she can't even meet up with you when she has a day off, what are the odds of her actually missing work to come, right?

Hence, sums up the first Valentine's Day you never celebrated in 4 years. Saddening isn't it?

So you go to college where everyone thinks you had a great Valentine's Day, where in fact you did not. So well, now you all know, what a great Valentine's Day I had this year.

What happened to the flowers and the card? Thankfully Mr. Rubbish Collector helped me settle them.

That's all for now. Bye.
