Dear valentine,
I can immediately recall every sad song,
hit repeat.
Every year around this time you sing along.
Sing the song,
the one that can't make your heart break,
that one that just made every bone in your body drive off the deep end,
drive far enough to know what it is,
to feel...
unwanted, neglected but not infected,
what it was,
and that's okay.
Okay,
steer away from red roses, sugar, sugar, sugar,
sugar coated baby...
sugar coat it,
sweetin' up the deal,
raise the stakes,
satisfy.
Replace the one and only with a "what if" and a "but."
What if I was more than expected.
Smarter,
taller,
wittier than the fallen...
but what about my flowers,
what about my good fortune,
break the virgin.
fuck the fallen,
stand above.
Actions speak louder than words,
louder than the thoughts of me,
me and you...me inside you...me inside the mind...
because thinking never did you any good.
Without any reason,
the broken record quit,
skip, skip, skippin'
Dreams were never spoken,
listen and heard...
Gifts were given,
smiles were made,
thoughtful,
no expectations,
I got it,
'just because.' ♥
