It is a part of a love language, a cliché that gives hope to many who believe that love is waiting in the winds for an opportunity to commune with those who desire it.

Why else would Valentine’s Day bleed red over the nation with floating balloons, long stemmed roses, heart shaped boxes, and greeting cards? Is that why couples charade their affections in the marketplace, parks, and restaurants, holding hands and kissing? The original intention of Valentine’s Day was religious, but over the years has taken a romantic twist. It has become a day to celebrate human hearts. Smitten lovers create a pervading atmosphere of amour.
They fill the air with intense emotions. Onlookers and passersby feel the vibe and inhale the joy of love. When love is in the air, smiles are infectious, and the desire to be loved is contagious. Truth be told, we like to see happy couples. It reminds seasoned lovers of how they met and encourages others to have faith and wait.

They satisfy our fantasies of finding a soul mate and falling in love. Let’s not forget the commercialism of Valentine’s Day.
