FREE LOVE
Lellie, I can still see the candles sparkling in your blue eyes on our first date. Now it’s the full moon sparkling in them as it rises over Fort Hill. You’ll always be the apple of my eye! — Oyster Wrangler
Dear EM, you’re my shimmer! Love forever, TM (and Penelope)
Mom and Papa, have a wonderful Valentine’s Day! Hope you are staying warm. XO, Kathleen
You are the butter to my bread, you are the breath to my life. Without you I could not breathe. I love you, DS. —JMD
Valentine-less on ol’ Valentine’s Day,/ I never imagined myself this way./ Fifty-eight years young and blonde needs what more?/ An available fella kind at core./ If this sounds like the best of Tom Petty,/ And you find yourself willing and witty,/ Reply here with lyric clever and sweet,/ And perhaps we at Joe Coffee can meet. —Forlorn in February
To Shawn: You are my love, my heart, my soul and my strength. Every silent wish I make is that you will forever walk beside me by the sea. Love, Nancy
LOML: You light up my life like the sun on a summer beach in Truro. Your laughter, kindness and love fill my heart with joy. Grateful that we found each other in this life. Here’s to more adventures, hand in hand. Together forever, M & F.
Jeff and Michael, my delight,/ Stealing kisses left and right./ Laughs and love, a perfect pair,/ Hands that wander, lips that dare,/ Wrapped in love both day and night!
Dear T.: It’s not always easy, but I am lucky to have a job where I can be head over heels in love with the boss. Be my Valentine? —E.
To Bob from Sara, with love: We’ve been together since I was 15 and you were 17 and now here we are in our early 70s. Despite disagreements, snoring (both of us), cursing (me) and temper (you), there is no one I’d rather sleep next to, travel with, play Siamese Mah Jongg with or hang around with.
Deirdre,/ I think I am on the verge of something/ falling out of bed like this./ Still, and after 24 years/ in love with you/ & the idea of us/ growing together/ gracefully./ I love you. —Lisa
Oh, Wellfleet, I love how you share yourself with Meg, Sara, Tali and me. Thank you. —Sam
To my Mountain Man: We are truly blessed with this amazing journey we share…/ Each and every day is an unknown adventure…/ Yet our commitment, love & respect for each other is solid as a rocky mount…/ We’re approaching the end of that tree line…/ Reaching for that eternal summit…/ One day, one step at a time…/ On the road, paths, vistas; a shared loving journey! Thank you, my love, Ocean Motion
Dear JAK, love you more than chocolate biscuits! Please be mine. Xxo, Julie
I love Judy Nietsche. She is smart, goofy, beautiful, kind, loving, hard-working even though she is retired, generous, silly, loyal, ethical, and is always willing to go to the beach. We have enjoyed 33½ years of happiness; here’s hoping for 33½ years more. (We would be 104½ & 110½ years old!) —Ann Myles
To my Musclehead: Thank you for being the perfect puzzle piece. —Joel
For Chris: A wonderful adventure awaits in our new wee place in P’town… Love you, Susan
Mikey with the good hair: my hug-in-a-mug-of-a-man, nervous system reset, cat wrangler, and weekend durkle-inspiration. You’re a gift to everyone who loves you. Cheers to writing our next chapter together. —E
To all the perfect dogs who come into Perry’s and those I meet on the street: Know that I love you today and every day and it’s your parents’ fault I can’t give you 87 treats. Love, Mack
To Eddie: I still want you to be my te-ni-ne-ni-noo. —Cookie.

To my darling, Johnny: Although you’re gone from this Earth & my heart is broken, I love you still & always will because our love will never die. I miss you deeply & long to be with you again. Happy Valentine’s Day in Heaven, my sweetheart! All my love, Frannie
To my beloved Nev: Sometimes you drive me mad but mostly I love you madly, gladly, sometimes badly, but always and all ways, with all my heart. Happy Valentine’s Day! —Suse

J&J, ever tried summarizing nearly five years of life together in 50 words? Especially when those five years have been the best a guy could ever hope for? Whoa, a tall order! I’ll simply say that I want you to know how much I love you. Forever yours, M
No need for candy,/ flowers and stuff,/ One day for our love/ is not enough./ Years in the making/ through thick and thin,/ Diamond memories/ sparkle within./ What more could we want,/ other than time/ So each day will be/ our Valentine.// Jeff, my dearest love,/ will you be mine?
To Juniper and Henry, who are the BEST Valentines in the world! With love from GhiGhi
Happy Valentine’s Day, Becky! In our 40 years you have given so much, from our boys, your career, your support of my company and your embracement and love of Provincetown. I am forever grateful, and I love you to the end of our time. —Pat
To my sweetest Mnelle: 12 days ago we celebrated 42 years (although we’ve known each other for 49) — hard to believe we’ve grown up together and we’re still here. There’s no one I’d rather laugh with, fight with, fight for, sing with, adventure with and love. Happy Valentine’s — you’re my everything and everything is you. —Your Mnelle xo
How lucky am I:/ No devil, no deep blue sea,/ Just hot biscuits and Sweet Marie./ Happy Valentine’s Day bb. —B
To my magic man: You are my support, my partner, my passion, my heart. I still don’t know how I was lucky enough for you to first turn your gaze my way. Even now after 39 years, I melt whenever you look at me. Thank you, my love. Entirely, B
To Tamara Ann: You are loving, sweet, thoughtful, generous and wonderfully kind. You’re the best! —Michael
Dear Jim, I love you to our happy place and back. Love, P
Grey-maned goddess, loving mother, loyal friend, empress of empathy, mender of stuffed animals, peerless listener — will you continue to be my Valentine as we enter our fifth decade together?
Sure do miss you. It’s that way. The people here reminding me who isn’t here. The people there who aren’t here. The people and the people and the people. All the people, and still, not enough people it turns out. Not enough. —JeremyBF
To Gramma and Pa: Your girlies wish you a very happy Valentine’s Day! They are grateful for your love and the bread you bring from Angel Foods, in equal measure. They would like to go to Pa’s studio and then meet Gramma at the P’town Library. XOXO.
You speak my language/ And I speak yours/ Our hearts entwined forevermore// Two sweet baby girls/ And a boy growing too fast/ Our family bond was made to last// Happy Valentine’s Day to the love of my life/ To you, my sweet husband/ From your loving wife —Nicolette
Sheila Ann, smart, witty, beautiful, wearing those round wireframe glasses similar to mine that day we met in Manhattan, Feb. 14, 1969. I loved you still more on Dec. 18, 1971, and love you always and forever. —Francis Leonard
Who loves ya, baby? Yep, still me! I love you, 86. —Mr. Guy
