The Way to My Heart

As Valentine’s Day grows rapidly nearer, I’m constantly aware of it. At every grocery store and drugstore, there are aisles swathed in red and pink and heart-shaped treats strategically placed near the registers. As a single person, I’ve come to view V-day as a day to celebrate both my singledom itself as well as the people in my life who make it so fabulous.

But this year is different. This year, I think I am falling in love.

It’s still early yet, as we’ve only spent three precious night together, but each one has been magical, awakening my senses beyond my wildest dreams.  My new lover was so kind — comfortable and inviting — even from the first time we were together, and upon first glance, I knew this was something special. In just a few short hours, I was exposed to so many new and exciting things, and each rendez-vous has expanded my horizons greatly. But love can be painful, and at the end of our nights together, it often hurt to leave a significant part of myself behind.

To be honest, I know we won’t be spending Valentine’s Day together as there will be too many others vying for attention that day, but I know in my heart that we will share other nights together.  So until our next encounter, Babbo, I send you my love, and I’ll be dreaming of your rich and decadent goose liver ravioli and delicate pasta pyramids with passato di pomodoro until we meet again.
