love is the only gold.

love is feeling comfortable and safe with someone, but still getting weak knees when they walk into a room and smile at you.

Tomorrow is February 14th - Valentine's Day. While there are many quick to point out the commercialization of this particular holiday, I love everything about it. Single or attached has never really mattered to me. I love the idea of romance, candy hearts, and cherishing those you love.

This year, I have a low-key Valentine's Day planned. Watching He's Just Not That Into You, eating far too many candy hearts, and good company. I can't help but be excited! This may be because I am a romantic. There is something so beautiful about the idea of love....which is why girly movies are a must!

Here are some of the pictures that have been inspiring me for Valentine's Day!

I leave you with my favourite poem, Love's Philosophy by Percy Bysshe Shelley.

The fountains mingle with the river,

And the rivers with the ocean;

The winds of heaven mix forever,

With a sweet emotion;

Nothing in the world is single;

All things by a law divine

In one another's being mingle;--

Why not I with thine?

See! the mountains kiss high heaven,

And the waves clasp one another;

No sister flower would be forgiven,

If it disdained it's brother;

And the sunlight clasps the earth,

And the moonbeams kiss the sea;--

What are all these kissings worth,

If thou kiss not me?

What are your Valentine's plans this year?
