It started like most other Valentines Day I had work or school, but Kyle and I had plans for when I had finished at work. I was off work at 6:45 pm and I rushed home to get ready since we were going out to eat tonight. Since we have only known each other this makes three weeks I mentioned that gifts were out of the question this year, but we could get each other a card. I went out Monday night and stood there by the cards in "Wally world" at least a hour trying to find a card that did not say I love you and there were none to be found. Then I decided to make one at home, and just change the words around to what I wanted it to say. I found a picture of Starbucks coffee beans spilling out of a cup I found on Google and I placed the picture on the front with the words Happy Valentines Day.
On the inside of the card I wrote :
Thank God, For Chance Encounters,
Spilled Coffee was the reason we met,
Although, we do not know each other
that well yet, this encounter with you,
I will never forget. I cannot say that
I love you yet, but for now I feel that
this encounter with you I shall never
regret.
I know I seem cheap, but I didn't want either of us to spend money on elaborate gifts when we were not even lovers yet. It has been me, but he has been patient with me. I feel that too many people go by physical attraction alone, and then you wake up one day and realize you do not even have anything to talk about with this person. I find it important in getting to know someone before you throw sex into the equation. This way no one walks away with a broken heart.
But, Kyle broke the rules by spending his money on me a no no, but I will let it slide this time. I did feel like a cheap, uncaring person by only having a card I made in photo shop. I got over it and we went out, but I had the waiter give me the check and I paid for our meal. When Kyle realized I paid he was visibly upset then I really felt bad. He stopped at a ATM and handed me the money and asked me to take it. I explained that I paid since I had nothing for him and how bad I felt that he had broken the rules. We were both sorry for crossing boundaries so we kissed and made up and the rest of the night was magical.
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY KYLE
maybe you can read this someday, but until then I just realized tonight I am happy with you.
