This is my valentine story to you. We had just finished our lunch at a outdoor cafe and we're walking back to our house. I can still remember the softness of your brown leather jacket, white blouse and long black skirt as it swayed back and forth as you walked as it pressed against my blue jean jacket and black jeans. As well as the soft fragrance of your long dark hair as you walked close to me your head on my chest. I remember the way the wind brushed and caught your hair and swept it back from your face revealing your bright smile and angelic face with two big blue eyes clear and deep and blue as the sea itself.  

I remeber the way people passed us by, stared and said hello to us as though we were someone special. If only they knew just how much in love we were. It made us feel special. I felt as though we were sharing our love with everyone around us. I remember the little dock we stopped at to look out over the ocean. We looked out and all we could see were a flock of seaqulls fying close to the boats looking for a meal. At the docks boats some in the water some out all tied to the harbour from top to bottom.  I could still hear your whisper to me. "What a dream it would be to set sail and see the world on a crest of a wave or the calm of the sea". It would indeed I thought to myself. Leaving the harbour and the scent of the salty sea behind us we turned and made our way home up the hill.

Settling for the night with a lite dinner you curled up like a cat on its side next to me. I could feel the beat of your heart as you quietly breathed as I  laid beside you and stroked your hair. Eventually, we fell asleep together leaving the world of boats and far away ports outside our quiet home. As we set our own course for the land of our own distant dreams on the winds of our imagination. I also remember quietly whispering to  you a happy valentine's day and how pround I felt having you here next to me so I could say thank you for being here.
