Odd Valentine

February 14th, the love day
People walking in couple, kissing and hugging
But I am here sitting with no one by my side
I hope you know what day it is
Somehow a flashback is displayed inside my head
Remembering the bind between you and me
We never say ‘love’ but we never want to be apart
The intimacy is filled with equality and respect
I hope to hear some romantic words from you
A candle light dinner or dancing under the moonlight
Even though I never demanded on that
But once is better than none
Then all of a sudden I found you sitting next to me
Saying that Valentine is ridiculous
Ugh, I feel like I want to punch you in your face
Give some black-and-blue in your right eye
But you were just smiling at me, staring at my eyes
Your touched my hair and gave a tender sight at me
I thought I would get a kiss on the lips
But kiss on my forehead is more romantic than I’ve ever thought
Sitting for hours in the city park
A romantic view to spend together with you
You held my hand and told me to watch the sky
Saying that valentine could come anytime they want
How to explain romance
Such an odd sensation
How to explore romance
It only needs sincerity and intimacy
