A card lies on the staircase, unopened, the day after St. Valentine’s Day. Its intended recipient must have walked over it time and again and conscuously or unconscuously made a decision not to pick it up and free the contents.

Why?

Perhaps the intended recipient no longer values the love they know is expressed within. Or perhaps it is too bitter a reminder that love both hurts and heals.

One day, maybe, the addressee will value the sender’s sentiment.
