If was on this day, Valentine's Day of last year, that everything between me and my fiancé had had started to go downhill. I was a bit too wrapped up in the work that I was doing that I failed to even pay attention to the needs of my "other" on this day.

Though in looking at what all transpired, I never had much support from my fiancé to begin with either. So to say that I messed up a day that was meant for spending time with someone you love, is a bit misconstrued. I loved my "other" half of me at the time. Often times it was the only thing that kept me going on days where I literally had no one to talk to.

Yet, in writing about this, and breaking my silence of almost a complete year on the subject, I can't help but say that my fiancé was just a infatuation that I had had at the time. Now, before you go off and start saying that I squandered love, or have my attention misplaced, hear me out.

Everyone wants to be loved. It's within our being, our core nature. It's not something that can be easily taken away from us. And with my fiancé, I was loved, had love, and shared love. Though a lot of it was one sided. And in the grand scheme of things, I realize that material gifts, or possessions don't hold much place in a person's heart. They just take up space that could be used to fulfill a full and complete love that is so profound, that only the gods can understand.

So in the end, I can truly say that I learned my lesson the hard way.

Love is not a game, nor an expression that should be lightly used, nor a feeling that should be squandered upon the material world. Love is a gift from up above, that is meant to be shared. It is the one thing that binds a person, and at the same time sets them free. Love, it is the ultimate tool of destruction and chaos. Yet in all its perplexities, it is the one that heals and mends all.

So on this day, share your love, your true love, and watch what happens. You'll be surprised that even the smallest act can move mountains in a person's heart. And always remember, love is not a game, but an experience for all to share.
