Tell me a love story.

Or a no-love story, if you prefer.

Happy Valentine's Day! If I could, I would send you each a box of those chalky conversation hearts.

    What, no love stories yet? Here's one:

    Hey you! Yeah, you, the man I used to know.
    Thanks for being such a jerk!
    Because otherwise,
    I might not have recognized
    A truly nice man
    When I found him.

    Oh, and thank you for not appreciating me
    Or ever thinking I looked good.
    Because now I know that
    To be admired is
    Incredible.

    Also, thanks for being mean,
    And for not loving me as I deserve.
    Thanks for not caring,
    though I thought you once had.
    Because guess what?
    I now know the opposite.
    I know that
    Remarkably kind is,
    And truly caring is,
    Fantastic.

    I need to say thanks as well,
    For making me sad.
    Because now I know happy!
    And in comparison,
    Happy is
    Amazingly wonderful.

    Oh yes, and thank you for showing me
    All the ways I should never be treated,
    And for showing me what love is not.
    Because now I love and am loved.
    And to be loved is
    Better than anything
    I could have ever dreamed possible.

    If you had only liked me a little more,
    You know, just barely enough,
    Then I might have been stuck with you.
    And then I never would have found,
    Or recognized,
    Or appreciated,
    What True Love is.
