Valentine's Day
Thoughts turn to
Love and romance
Artificial and forced
Though it may be
Expectations of
Fancy, overly expensive candlelight dinners
Chocolates and roses
Sexy lingerie and jewelry
Proposals and expressions of love
Expectations that
Lead to disappointment and hurt feelings
When people
Love fully everyday
Spend time together "just because"
Open hearts more freely
Appreciate one another consistently
Share their lives more easily
Communicate openly
They discover
Love that is true and strong
Lives in hearts and lives
Every day of the year
Expectations for that one day diminish
Making life and love fuller and richer
Everyday
