It's that time of the year when everyone seems to be cheerful and
ecstatic and when the malls are bedecked with the ubiquitous heart and Cupid.
Everywhere you look, the pavements and flower shops are awash with roses,
tulips and other floral varieties.
Yes, it's Valentine's Day once again and love is in the air.
Well, count me out. I hate to say this but I have come to believe that
L-O-V-E has always been exaggerated.
Call me a cynic. A skeptic perhaps but I'm not really the type that goes
swooning when the the four letter word is mentioned.
When I was a tad younger and that was a long long time ago, I did fell
hard for two or three special loves that I would always hold dear and keep
locked up in my heart.
Somehow, along the way, my views and beliefs became twisted, contorted
and distorted.
Every time someone catches my fancy or someone eyes me with that
unmistakable hint of mischief or intimates to me a promise of more than just
friendship, I shy away and laugh it off.
Why complicate my life?
Every time I fall in love, everything goes awry. The bouts of depression
when you don't see or hear from the object of your affection, the tinge of
jealousy, the compulsion to stalk, the obsession and getting stupid.
Nah, I don't want to go through that stage again even if it means
depriving myself of the intimacy and the rapture

But of course, I will end up telling myself "Raul, convince yourself
that".
Yeah, at the end of the day, I always end up going home to a cold and
empty bed. How depressing can that be? Would I end up with a fairy tale ending?
Would I find that special someone?
Isn't there someone in this planet of six billion people who is destined
to be my soulmate and lifetime partner?
Guess, I have to wait for another 46 years before I find the answer to my
stupid questions.
Who knows, my destiny just might
be out there waiting and hoping for our
paths to cross.
For the meantime, excuse me while I nurse my heartache with another shot

Here's a bittersweet song about a special someone
