Valentine Revisited Wonder 4 Young Love 2 Reunion

A centric couple

Exchanging different coloured roses

Holding hands with vice like grip

Earth betwix their curling toes

Beneath a moonlight torn astray

With such so birthed exploding hearts

It even stirs the deaf neighbours

And labours love

Valentine poison arrow breech

Still hidden in the shadowy hall's

Of old school gym lockers

Now used as passwords

That scar to this day

Because

They are a cold reminder

Of what it was like growing up

Deemed to be never worthy 

Of 1 a single solitary flower bought
Nor
Valentine's card written

Hopefully better late than never

Something's are wasted on the young

And are worth waiting for

And mean so much more

When the right time

And the right person comes along 

Said someone far wiser under the
guise of I 

With a sheave full of blunt arrows

And teary eyes

As if to say 

1 day in the future you will eventually
understand

And come that day look back and
finally be able to smile without

Regret 

And nothing else will matter

But love itself relatable in this here
moment present tense actuality now 

Come the Reunion and everything is
back to the future
