When he asked me
what I wanted for Valentine's Day
I told him:

"A summer's day way back when
with my best friend laughing
and a boy playing guitar that I still dream of.

A night in sweat-soaked sheets
with Loggins and Messina Sailing the Wind
in a stifling room.

Or, oh, best ever...
A young Christmas morning
with Mommy & Daddy & presents & good will towards all!"


He shook his head
and ordered me a dozen yellow roses
which arrived 2 days late.

I knew then
all our days were numbered.
