This was my first Valentine while I was not alone,
not arguing with anyone,
not waiting for any possible phone calls,
not hanging online till late at night,
or hanging out with friends who were also single.
This was my first sweet Valentine,
but I can’t forget
my dormmates who hung out with me,
late at the NTU campus.
We were all single at that time,
so we went out and had a feast,
took a leisurely walk,
and had much laughter.
It wasn’t particularly romantically sweet
but it was warm; it was friendly sweet.
And I knew I was not alone.
And that felt great!
While I was hugging him tightly in my arms,
there was an abrupt phone ring.
It was a man whose name I’ve forgot.
I sounded surprised while he sounded awkward.
I am not sorry that I don’t remember him,
but I should feel sorry for him
because I know that kind of feeling.
Feeling especially lonely at a night
while almost every couple would go out
and celebrate.
Almost every person would try to do something special
for their loved ones.
A feeling that you suddenly feel so lonely, totally forgotten,
that you mean nothing to nobody.
He absolutely doesn’t want anyone to pity him because of his high pride.
Neither does everyone of us.
However, I feel sorry for him.
Somehow, there are so many people, who are so smart, so handsome, so pretty, so rich, so experienced, so sophisticated, so perfect,
but they don’t have a person to love them.
They don’t have someone to do something special for.
I know the feeling
because I was one of them
until you.
Until you.
So this was my first Valentine.
The first time in my life
that there wasn’t any bitterness or complex feelings in my mind.
The first Valentine
that I felt happy all day long and looked forward to seeing someone at night.
This was my first Valentine
when Jesse was by my side.
And that was the best Valentine gift.
