Why do you not celebrate Valentine’s Day Jose
Not that I really care
But you seem to shy away from it
There is a good reason Ana
Do you remember Julian
Yes he jumped from the bridge
Did you know him
Slightly
Well more than slightly
I was his friend
He was in love with Luna
But she did not love him
He was too quiet
Did he jump because of Luna
Partially
But also because of my cruelty
You are not a cruel person
I was cruel to Julian
Rosa Perez was in on the joke
She told Julian that she often showered with Luna after sport
And that she had a memorable mound of pubic hair
Almost gypsy like in its night
It was then that I did the shameful deed
I removed some of my underarm hair and glued it to a Valentine’s card
Rosa then posted it to Julian on Valentine’s Eve
Was he tricked into believing Luna loved him
And this was her love token
Yes very much
He lived on clouds for days
Until the evening of the dance
He asked her for a date
She turned him down which confused him
Julian showed her the card
And she not only mocked him but others too
He threw himself off of the bridge the following morning
Rosa left the town soon afterwards
She had a breakdown and blamed me
I was just left to live with my guilt
That was my punishment
Each day I breathe I think of my cruelty
It lives with me
Yet you have come into my life Ana
I do not deserve you
God forgives those who transgress
Does he
That is why you met me as I was in a way a sign of his forgiveness
You make me very happy
That is my reward
History cannot change but it can be forgiven
