I Did it for Me

 

I don’t usually participate in Valentine’s Day

Not because I’m anti love

Or anti commerce

More just because if it isn’t real

Why bother

 

That said

I went back and forth this year

Should I

Shouldn’t I

Send it

Don’t

 

For a special friend

Far away

But close at heart

Kind of real

But really kind

 

There was a little research

And a lot of back and forth

To find the right place

The right touch

 

The Delano helped-

And I found the florist

It had to be lavender roses

Seemed like her color

 

Then I found

That lavender roses

Means love at first sight

Fitting

 

In the end

I did it for me

It made me feel great

And I sent them hoping for a smile

 

She smiled
