GIVE ME TRUE LOVE...

Have I Given you a Valentine Lately

~

I don't believe in Valentines,

they are young and vulnerable

and hopelessly old fashion.

Valentines are for

sentimental sentimentalists,

romantic romantics,

and those who still believe in

happy endings

I am at the point in life where

I know how the story ends

And when the nights grow cold,

and so I do not expect

Lace slips,

Surprise trips,

Cherry flips,

or tender little poems

because it is That day.

Instead I want my Valentines

at unexpected times.

I want to know what you think of me in

Mid-May, March, and June.

For I believe,

My dear,

One day a year is not enough for love.

My sentiments exactly...I find holidays like Valentines Day and Mothers Day annoying because I don't enjoy receiving obligatory gifts. That is exactly what holidays have been turned in to by retail and advertising...occasions where the men in our lives feel obligated to buy us gifts...(through fear and coercion LOL) I would much rather receive a heartfelt dandelion on any day of the year then the mandatory dozen red roses for Valentines...tell me how you feel.
