Once bitter..

So Valentine's day is coming up and I was just thinking about how much I hate it, and have always hated it. If someone loves you, do you really need a tacky teddy bear holding a heart and some awkward card to prove it?
However,it's all very well and good to be in a relationship and proclaim your hatred for the lovefest, and as a result will be hailed as independent from your partner and have your mind on a higher plain that all the tack. Oh but if you're single... if you're single, you are not independent, you're bitter and cynical and secretly wish you had someone to send you a satin heart with "I love you" embroidered on it.
Yes, that's exactly it. I'm terribly bitter and long for a room filled with cheap mementos of someone who once had a fleeting interest and deigned to buy me a trinket bound for a dusty shelf.
Spare me. I'll just take the presents the other 364 days of the year, thanks.
