Valentines…. What does this day mean? For a parent it may be just be one of those days when their children stay out late and arrive home in a dazed state.
To a loveless person it’s the day when everyone seems to be happy and she is all alone and lonely. All lovers seem to be her enemies because just the sight of them together makes her green with envy. Gifts are wanted but none are received and thinking of her past flame makes her start to go insane.
To a girl that’s in love, it is one of those most important days of the year. This is the day when crushes are revealed, chocolates are received and histories are made. Their diaries or “best friends” will know the juiciest tidbits of the day. Whether it is the time she received a letter saying that her “secret love” loves her back or the time she found out that his heart beats for someone else.
To a guy who admires a girl. This is the time when wallets are emptied and money is a necessity. He has to buy gifts for the girl he admires whether it would be chocolates, teddy bears, flowers, necklaces, rings or bracelets. He also has to make sure that she likes them or else all his efforts would be useless.
But, what most boys don’t realize is, to win a girls heart material things are not always necessary. We all know that girls go giddy over cute designer bags. But, what girls want is love, care and attention. Material things certainly can’t give those. Sometimes, all that is needed is for you to be by their side and love them with all your heart. So, I decided to make a poem about this day that seems to drive the human min insane.
"Secret workings of the heart"
The long awaited season of hearts draws near
Aren’t you going to go hide in fear?
Cupid’s working is clearly shown everywhere
I’m sure the little cherub is out there somewhere
Girls are starting to get giggly and giddy
It’s just downright scary
The smell of all kinds of treats in the air
Everyone analyzing their looks with extra care
Boys starting to count their money
The sound of jingling coins is like sweet melody
I’m sure they can be accountants someday
For they even realize when a penny has gone astray
Loves working really entrances me
It seems to make everyone go crazy
Everyone always seems to be in a rush
They just disappear in a flash
A single boy that is sincere as a dove
That's all you need to fall inlove
When will boys realize
That all you need is for them to be by your side?
