Melvin Saw Hearts and Valentines

Shelly and Melvin had been high school sweethearts
She fell in love with a bad boy from the next town.
Melvin was crushed, and astounded that she was pregnant.
Their love had been innocent for well over two years.

After Melvin’s wife died, Shelly called him up and invited him to lunch.
He intended to be super cautious; she had been married four times.
Seeing her blue eyes, he remembered how much he once loved her.
He saw doves and valentines and began to pursue her in earnest.
