Can you believe it, it’d been, TEN years! This, is a special year, and so, I’d, decided, to surprise you, with a dinner and a movie, left the kids at the sitters, picked them up after school, then, “shipped” them off to the sitter’s home…
And, I’d, had this, grand meal prepared for the two of us, cracked open, that bottle of bubbly too, put it on ice, and all that’s missing, for this celebration to start, is Y-O-U.
But, you’d not, come home, and, as I waited for you, in my silky red dress (uh, get REAL here!!!), I’d started, to feel, that something wasn’t quite right, as in the years we’d been together, you’d always called home, to tell me you will be late, and, it’s, almost eight, WAY past the time you get off work, and I still, hadn’t, heard from you yet.

And, my mind started, wandering, all over the places, you KNOW how I usually, contemplate the worst of things, and, I got lost, in this, TRAP that my mind had, set up for me.
Our tenth Valentine’s, I’d spent, CRYIN’, ‘cuz you didn’t come home, and when you had, you were, totally, PLASTERED, and your excuse was: you went out with your, beer buddies, and forgot that I had a surprise planned for you (actually, that would be, MY fault, I failed to let you know…and then again, it wouldn’t, be a surprise anymore!). Turned out, we were, so totally, out-of-synch with each other, and, it’d, taken me ten FUCKING whole years, to finally, realize, that we weren’t, right for each other, and so, on February 15th (that’s a DAY after Valentine’s, you DUMBASS!!!), I’d, FILED for divorce, and no, you not coming home the day previous, was still NOT the sole cause, it was merely, the FINAL STRAW and now, my BACK’s BROKEN!!!
