it's not about
ninety-nine cent cards
from the dollar store,
or milk chocolate
in the shape of a heart
it's not about
feeling bad for yourself
because you're single
or going out
to an expensive dinner
it's not about
how many bouquets
or "happy valentine's day"
text messages you receive
love is beautiful,
it is forbearing and selfless,
it is not bitter or rude,
it is modest and humble
so even if you think today
was created by hallmark
to sell more cards
why not show love
to someone
you care about?
or even to
a complete stranger
you don't have to have
a boyfriend or girlfriend
or husband or wife
or "significant other"
to celebrate today
because everyday
is a wonderful day
to love someone
