Those are not my footprints in the sand
I stroll behind
I watch others’ footprints flow
Those are not my friends in the photograph
I stroll behind
I hope they would not mind
This is not my year for even numbers
I step aside
I am Aquarius and partly blind
This is not yet my year of death
I’m standing still
I am older now but destined perpetual Valentine
O Valentine’s Day
can mean so many things
roses and diamond rings
love pledges in the sky
romanty cards a sweet caress
how to say I love you best
hearts swell with prompt and sway
For me, it’s just my birthday
if I’m still here for this one
then Valentine’s Day must be
one perfectly magical gift of a day
in every conceivable way
and yeah, I’m glad to share it
with you.
