570. After Valentines Day 2017

The chocolates have all been eaten or melted and been thrown away the roses have already started to wilt and shed their petals all over the shelf Your wallet is complaining of being empty the meal you had is threatening to rise you wanted to give the best you could and yet still feel that it was never enough The bottles of wine are laying empty a reminder to the evening you had dripping their remains on the carpet the stains left will take weeks to shift As you lay in bed on Valentine's day and think about the events that occurred is it really best to show your love with temporary gifts than to prove it permanently with actions and you can't help wondering if any of what happened was really worth it
