i don’t celebrate
v a l e n t i n e ‘ s day
it’s all overpriced roses
and cards filled with words
that should be said
every
damn
day
i don’t celebrate
commercialized love
and boxed chocolates
(i always choose the gross ones anyway)
i don’t celebrate
pretty heart shaped things
or expensive stuffed animals
(nothing can replace
the crook of your neck
or the brush of your hands)
—
i don’t celebrate
v a l e n t i n e ‘ s day
but, i celebrate you and me
and every single day
where i get to call you mine
