Roses are red, isn't that how it starts?
Our impression of romance cookie-cut from Hallmark
in the Valentine's Day aisle, painted pink and white,
a sea of hearts oozing affection and lace,
these colors mean "I love you," so does italicized font.
Cursive says it better than homemade confections,
so ante up and bid on your lover's desire
to maybe return the sentiment if you look the part.
Gotta match the heartthrob from that movie she loves.
Strap on a McConaughey smile and some Clooney charm
cuz Cosmo says this and that and blah blah blah...
I'm not a cynic, honest, I love this day too.
The universe is my valentine and it doesn't want
heart shaped balloons, or a typhoon of roses.
No boxes of promises or kissing teddy bears.
Don't gotta make it a Bolton filled mix CD.
The world doesn't care how I say it, it just knows that I do.
Wants me to open the door,
call just to say "hi."
Smile a little more and give less to worry,
trust that it'll be handled.
The universe doesn't want dinner lit by a candle,
just wants us to give out everyday brotherly love.
So open those arms wide
I'm giving free hugs!
Happy Valentine's Day :)
