i had a valentine
well, actually more than one
i’ve been held, caressed
and passionately kissed
walked hand-in-hand
as we laughed and smiled
we shared melodies and memories
and moments of bliss
there were tears and surprises
and seasons of regret
he…they said sweet nothings
and my heart skipped a beat
yes - jewelry and flowers
candy and love notes
oh…and even a teddy bear or two
but today, this february...
i don’t have a valentine
as that has come to be such a
commerlized event
lasting for about 24 hours
no thank you - i’ll pass
i want the rest of the 364 days also
wait…scratch that
i want more
i want longevity, eternity, infinity…
yes - i want that
