Valentine
Valentine
It is approaching
People are preparing
Some are still hustling
To make it to that evening
A eve worth remembering
Gifts bought are everlasting
To cite is their heartwarming
It is an eve of late snuggling
Couples play a pillow fighting
Voices are mute only soughing
Their promises are mind-blowing
They promise heavenly camping
