Another Valentine's Day

 And it is another Valentine's day, 

Where we are just grateful to be in good health, 

And no prospects for intimate relationships. 

Alone at night cuddling pillows or at the clubs getting tipsy

And yet, we have a phone full of names and numbers, 

A gallery full of memories of people we no longer talk to 

But forever in love with them. 

Where most people have touched our bodies and faces, 

But never met our souls and hearts, 

And we drew distance to keep it classy, 

Since showing emotion reflects weakness. 

Another Valentine's day, 

Where we are thinking about our next big projects, 

Instead of  planning gifts to give to people we care for,

Where some of us will only call family to check on how they 

are doing and simply wish them  a nice day. 

Where we really don't mind an invitation to dinner, 

Or alone night in for a deep sleep after a long week,

Where we are just on a normal Friday,

Thankful that we got to be busy chasing dreams, 

And living our possible best. 

And it's okay, if we didn't get gifts or flowers. 

And yet, it's like a circle, 

We will be telling the same story next valentine, 

May be stuck in the same situations, 

And we will tell you that if you have someone to care for, 

valentine's day happens everyday. 

Allow someone to love you, you can't be alone forever.
