Happy Valentines Day

sometimes unrequited love opens doors to beautiful things.
Just knowing that I can feel love is knowing I am alive.
And you know what?
After the tears and the denials,
after the tryings and the hopings,
like after a rain,
when the sun comes out
and a rainbow beckons,
the day is not lonely after all.
I did not have to stop loving
surely not stop living--
the beauty embraces,
thank you, thank you,
for being,
if not in love with me,
then for being my love.
