Sooner or later, life will catch up with you. Someone you love or depend upon will leave you or they will die. So, if you have your health and a few coins in your pocket why not do something you enjoy tonight? If you are lucky enough to be in love spoil the one you love. If your not chat someone up on the bus, tube or train. Ask them out for a dinner or a drink. The worst they can say is “no” and you have only your self dignity to lose…and that’s not a lot. Forget about the commercialism of St. Valentines’ Day and have a good time. Shag something. Eat lovely food and drink expensive Champagne. Be in the moment. Moments are, after all, finite. Your moments and your chances will, one day, run out. Then what? Who knows? But that’s when…when life will have caught up with you. So, while you're able…run from the consequences. Flee. Leg it while you still can.

If all else fails and you still find yourself alone do something that will make you happy. If that means taking a handful of barbiturates and rolling into a ball in front of the television…go for it. If you want to go for a long run along the river…do that. Just remember that the clock is also running. And it’s not running in your favour.
