Come, let’s be a comfortable couple and take care of each other!
How glad we shall be, that we have somebody we are fond of always,
to talk to and sit with.
Let’s be a comfortable couple.
by Charles Dickens

Nothing is better than snuggling up with a loved one on this day!

I knew a woman, lovely in her bones,
When small birds sighed, she would sigh back at them;
Ah, when she moved, she moved more ways than one:
The shapes a bright container can contain!
from I Knew a Woman by Theodore Roethke 

Thinking back to my best Valentine’s Day celebrations…

Soft lips together pressed,
Soft wispy hair,
She stops to rest,

Helen, thy beauty is to me
Like those Nicean barks of yore,
That gently, o’er a perfumed sea,
The weary, way-worn wanderer bore
To his own native shore.
To Helen by Edgar Allan Poe

I wish I could savor the first blush of young love over and over again.

Stops at the light
Of this pale choked day. The peering sun
Sees what has been done.

The decision to kiss for the first time is the most crucial in any love story. It changes the relationship of two people much more strongly than even the final surrender; because this kiss already has within it that surrender.
Emil Ludwig

What else does she have to surrender to love fully?

Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.
from Dreams by Langston Hughes 

Keep true to your dreams – dreaming the dream can be just as important (and delicious) as realizing the dream.
