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
