You never thought you'd find joy in Valentine's Day, not after those disastrous experiences with exes who forgot to hide their indiscretions on social media. But Spencer changed everything. You love Spencer as much as you love cats, and you'd die for a cat.

Valentine's Day has always been special since you two started dating ten years ago. Spencer is always so thoughtful and sweet, transforming the day you once dreaded into one you eagerly anticipate. This year, like always, Spencer couldn't keep the surprise and told you about the small box filled with your favorite things. It was adorable, and you couldn't wait to see what was inside.

When the day finally arrives, Spencer hands you the box, eyes sparkling with excitement.

"Open it," Spencer urges, unable to hide their grin.

You lift the lid, expecting candies or trinkets. Instead, you find an exquisite ring and a folded piece of paper. Your heart skips a beat as you realize what's happening.

"Will you marry me?" Spencer asks softly, voice trembling with emotion.

You unfold the paper and read the poem, tears welling up in your eyes. It's from Sylvia Plath, your favorite poet:

“I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead; I lift my lids and all is born again. (I think I made you up inside my head.)”
