V alentine’s a day to say, “I love you,”
A ritual that stages something real,
L etting out the truth of what I feel
E ven as I think it often of you.
N or could I with such grace without this day
Tell you that I’m grateful that I have you,
I mpress upon you just how much I need you,
N eeding such a frame for what I say
E ven as I would my heart reveal.
Be my Valentine, my love,
As I will be for you,
And we will love the whole day long,
And love our whole lives through.
For love has no parameters
And does not end with time,
But is the gift of paradise,
A pinch of the sublime.
So let us take this holiday
To resubmit our love
To those within that know no sin
And with the angels move.
