Her first Valentine's,
anxious, nervous, my sister whines
what should I gift him?
cards, cakes, may be some wines
roses are not fresh, perfumes smell dull
as if she wants to get him this, that and all.
There I exale the love filled air before I drown
it's tedious shopping with lovestruck, I frown.
I pick up a black huge smiley badge
amongst the lovey-dovey pink red maze-
a gift to myself.
Back home, I thank some cheesy messages
throw them some fake smiling emoticons.
I stare at the black smiley badge
now hung upon a purple thread.
I smile back at it- the real smile,
one day, I will find you.
My first Valentine's,
anxious, nervous I whine
what should I gift you, my mine?
too close to my heart yet far in distance
oceans, universe, unicorns for instance
stars are dim, rainbow skies too bling.
Yes, I want to get you this, that and everything.
Here, I inhale this love filled air, let me drown
it's tedious being lovestruck, hands down.
I pick up the huge purple teddy
lovey-dovey pink red amaze me already-
a gift from you.
I read the love filled messages in your love filled eyes
your care, trust, promises are beyond the price.
I kiss the ring, dance with your jumping beans
I hug the teddy you, smell your scented tees
but it's nothing like the hug you hug
No, it nothing like the touch you touch.
On this fourteenth of Feb, I rewind and crave
our fourteen days together fore goodbyes wave.
I stare at the black thready smile
stitched on your purple gift.
I smile back at it- the real smile,
one day, I will be with you,
My Valentine.
