It's that special day:
candles/chocolates/roses
romantic playlist
the home cooked meal? Check
everything looks perfect
mellow mood is set
The colour is red
petals scattered on the bed
what more to be said.
Tonight will be be great
I mean, look at his effort-
went all out this year
Keys turn in the lock,
she's arrived! Quick. Find a spot
look on her face..... -shock
Not a smile. A frown
but what the hell could be wrong
wait... he hesitates,
Steps out of the dark
'Hello Sweetheart' - a light kiss;
rekindle the... spark
'What's all of this?'
'it's Valentines Day honey'
'and....... Who give a shit?
Must we celebrate?
sorry, it's been a long day
I just want to sleep'
Dejected. He's sad
a surprise turned on it's head-
he'd even prepared,
Strawberry cheesecake,
the wine was chilling with ice
'This' was to be nice...
Feeling blue, she said
'You give me your love all year-
that is what matters,
this commercial day,
is of no significance
our bond stays strong
love you baby,
you're the world and more to me
...they hold each other
Affectionately
and make way to the bedroom
all else forgotten.
