“All for you and none for me”
Valentine’s day hasn’t been Valentine’s day in a long time.
the candy grams, the chocolate boxes, the gift bags
got lost somewhere along the way.
Valentine’s day hasn’t been Valentine’s day in a long time.
the hearts that were just because
the stamps and the glitter that were why nots?
the generic cursive loves followed by scribbled names.
Valentine’s day hasn’t been Valentine’s day in a long time.
somewhere along the way
it became more about you than me.
it became all for you and none for me.
Valentine’s day hasn’t been Valentine’s day in a long time.
somewhere along the way
you became a valentine. not me.
all for you and none for me.
Valentine’s day hasn’t been Valentine’s day in a long time.
that’s probably because it was designed for valentines
designed for you. not me.
somewhere along the way
my valentines got lost,
all for you and none for me.
