Valentine Date

Was anyone really thinking? Creating a day set aside for smothered lovers married couples, partners, sweethearts in the groove believing for a moment love could ever be improved. A box of chocolates, a bouquet of flowers dinner sweetens the valentine hours. Quick as the dinner drinks arrives feelings and emotions barely survive. A hug, a kiss, a push aside he's watching the clock, catches another's eyes and in the fading spell he's no longer mesmerized. Keep your flowers, candy and all those other sweets, go home alone with hurried feet put sad music on and face the emptiness asleep. My lonely valentine escapes this was our once and only valentine date.
