Passing quickly goes the hands of the clock,
bringing me closer to the day.
She hates this day,
the day she swears she was tricked,
her child being torn from her,
but that's not true.
For the babe would've died in her arms years ago.
But for me,
This upcoming day represents compassion,
empathy for others,
and now comes to symbolize the ever growing love that blossoms in my heart.
It was the day when I did not receive many cards or candy from classmates,
But instead drew home-made cards and handed out candy to everyone so in turn they would not go without.
It represents my love of everything romantic,
and a fleeing of the lonely forces,
that was once all I knew.
With each passing year this date comes to mean so many wonderful things,
And each year easily out dos the previous,
and so I welcome with outstretched arms my first Valentine's Day in a relationship.
