I have no objection to people trying to make a fast buck but to claim one day instead of a year is nonsense and marketing blurb.

If you love someone you love them for more than one day but I can understand the site trying to earn from it.

          If I could write a Valentine


If I could write a Valentine what would I say
Phone bill been paid
Is this just your day

What happens tomorrow
I've done this day
Can I forget you now

I've paid my way

Were I married to you for only a day
Do I disregard you
So you go away

To be told on one day

You mattered for a day
When I have a year
Alone to enjoy

Why on one day should love
Have come to stay
And the year has nothing to hold dear

Why should money to enjoy the year
Be paid
So love can be so dear

Do you remember one night a year
Was I so poor
And never so dear

Why do flowers never flow now
Because they get stolen
For love of another

Like roses flowing throughout the year
There is a prick
Of what holds dear

And dying for one night
Is a glorious trip
I prefer a year

To make my half flip

Hey Dave I truly agree love should be all year round not just one day and besides if you read my humorous valentine the other day ... like I said cupid keeps missing me LOL

I have faith in that

Yes, Dave, my thoughts exactly but it's still nice to receive a Valentine's day card - I can still remember that far back.

Love is neverending only when one wants it to end.

I enjoyed this read.

Happy Valentine's Day my friend.


:-)

Within this heart you'll find love
