My valentine’s day isnt chocolates
Of exoctic foreing “assorted flavors”
In a red heart shaped box
It isnt flowers
Delivered to my doorstep
A dozen red roses in a crystal vase
It isn’t a date on a calendar
Adorned with little hearts
The numbers 1 and 4
It isnt even the bright pink pants
The “LOVE” necklace and red shirt
That I wore in celebration
My valentine’s day is you
It is the love that overwhelms me
At the mention of your name
By my own brain inside my head
It is any day I am with you
Can be close to you
Get to hold you and be held
In the safety of your arms
