The Answer.
No, this is not about the basketball shoe.
Valentine. Lord Wiktionary defines it thus:
-BEGIN-
Noun
valentine (plural valentines)
A greeting card or note given to someone you love on February 14th.
A person to whom a valentine is given or received, on February 14th.
-END-
A lexical definition such as that... is utterly devoid of meaning. A delicious irony, is it not? Don't get me wrong. For an academic, that would be a dead-on definition. However, I am not an academic. And such matters were never meant to be in the academic realm.

Indeed, besides politics, there are several other contested terms. And I think, "valentine" is one of them. In lieu of this, permit me to state what I think a Valentine to be:
Anywhere, with you.
Yes. As in,
"Anywhere, with you
drive me away 'cause the night just feels right
take me away with you tonight."
