We're stuck with each other!
NO VALENTINE No Valentine for you , my love. Just the same old stuff. Sweaty socks in the laundry And dirty dishes in the sink. Clean the cats’ hairballs And I’ll caulk the tub. I could take you out for dinner; But that would include Watching buffed people In love for a week Pretending forever. We don’t need that. I held your hand last night. You were snoring. I’ll hold it tomorrow too. Please wash the window. I’ll take care of the floor I know your back hurts. This Valentine stumps me. Should I love you One day a year? I don’t think so. It’s for youngsters. Young, or maybe new, loves. People with something to prove. I have nothing. To prove. I don’t love you just today; I love you everyday.

Loving this one, are you gonna write one for 2005, or just move this to the top? ;) Loving her everyday with nothing to prove, is the best, I'd just move it.

Sorry I missed this one earlier. Sentiments are realistic, but hey I dont mind a little Red Rose once a year, or going out to dinner and playing sweethearts, breaks the monontony, but otherwise, enjoyable write Peter.
