Elucidating Questions

To the Valentine’s without Valentine’s

The days that never go right

The best gift of the day the dusting proceeding the slow thaw

So short lived, so beautiful, my beautiful white Valentine

Much quicker and easier without the hit

I’ll take it I took it

I’ve never been surprised on Valentine’s Day

I don’t have a Valentine

I’ve never been there done that

Than face what I’m missing

And what I’m leaving behind
