To My Valentine

Forget the candy,
even though it’s dandy.
Forget the flowers,
they’ll only last a couple hours.
Forget the cards,
I don’t need a piece of paper to send my regards.
Forget the teddy bear,
he liked to swear.
Forget the gift wrap,
it gets ripped off in a snap.
Forget all the material things,
think of Valentines Day without all the strings.
I don’t need things from a store,
all I need is your love, nothing more.

I love you. Happy Valentine's Day.
