Only one way to find out!  Go to the Mercury's Valentine page here and click on the "Browse/Search Valentines" box. You can scroll through and look for yours, or use our handy-dandy search function. Or just read them all if you're in the mood for a tsunami of hot 'n' heavy ROMANCE!

BUT DON'T FORGET! It's not too late to write a love note of your own! You have until February 17 to submit your Mercury Reader Valentine to that special lover in your life. And ohhhhhh... it's soooooo easy!
