As much as many of my love-ish songs arrived in the context of one relationship or another, I realized a long time ago that they are mostly love songs to love, to the possibility, the daring to believe in a happy ending that makes the feeling of love possible, and gives it some ground. They're as much for me as they are for anybody. Like Ru says: If you can't love yrself, how in the hell you gonna love somebody else? Whatever yr relationship status is this V-day, I hope you're feeling love, and feeling loved.
