Lovely Valentine’s True Story
Doting Couple Has Used the Same Valentine’s Day Card for 70 Years
There’s no danger of 88-year-old Harry Ward forgetting his wife Doris’s Valentine’s Day card – the couple still use the same one he bought her 70 years ago.
When 17-year-old Harry Ward presented his sweetheart Doris with a Valentine’s Day card as he boarded a train to join the wartime effort on 14th February 1941, he must have been fairly confident his affections would be required. After all the couple had been dating since they met in a Bristol café three months earlier. Little can he have imagined that 70 years on, not only would he still be happily married to Doris, but that every year she would present him with the very same card he gave her at the railway station that Valentine’s day.
Now the card is set to make another appearance on the couple’s mantelpiece as Mrs Ward, 87, dusts it off in time for the celebrations.
‘I bring it out of the cupboard and put it on our mantelpiece every Valentine’s Day,’ she said. ‘It’s as special to me now as it was 70-years-ago. Harry has never bought me one since, because I have this one every year.’
The couple married in 1942 so Will and Guy discovered; and they went on to have two daughters, two granddaughters, and four great-grandchildren. They had met in a café in November 1940 after Mrs Ward, who was in domestic service, had missed her bus home.
Mr Ward, now 88, told us, ‘I knew Doris was the one for me the moment I met her. It was a heck of a night during the Blitz, but at least it meant we met each other. I gave her the Valentine’s card then and she is still my Valentine now.’
Mrs Ward’s card which reads, “Two hearts entwine this Valentine. True love makes it sincere”
In addition, we were told, ‘The secret to our happy marriage is that we never go to bed without a kiss goodnight. We are as still in love as the day he first gave me this card.’
First Valentine’s Love Story Ever
A Lasting Legacy of 500-year-old Love
Love it or hate it, even the most hardened anti-Romeo will be hard-pressed to avoid Valentine’s Day this year.
Here is a letter which is on show at the British Library. It is a letter, written from a young woman to her love, and is the first mention of the word Valentine in the English language.
The letter shows they were no different to us. They had the same loves, desires, and financial problems.
In 1477 Margery wrote a letter to John pleading with him not to give her up, despite her parents’ refusal to increase her dowry.
Addressing her ‘ryght welebeloued Voluntyne’ (right well-beloved Valentine), she promised to be a good wife, adding, ‘Yf that ye loffe me as Itryste verely that ye do ye will not leffe me” ‘ (If you love me, I
trust.. you will not leave me).
While romantics 534 years later might celebrate Valentine’s Day with fine dining, chocolates, and FTD Valentine’s Day flowers, Margery is left pleading with her love not to leave her while pledging her heart overall ‘earthly things’.
She promises her undying love, ‘Myne herte me bydds ever more to love yowe truly’ (My heart me bids ever more to love you truly), and speaks of her ailing body and heart over her fiance’s continuing silence.
However, modern-day lovers be reassured, like any self-respecting fairytale romance the heart did rule the head and, despite her father’s stubbornness over her dowry, Margery did marry her knight and the couple had a son, William, in 1479. Margery died in 1495, and John in 1503.
While her letter is also written on paper, there is one key difference. She didn’t write it herself we have learned. It would have been dictated to a man who would have written it for her. However, says Julian Harrison, curator, ‘The fact that she isn’t writing the letter doesn’t mean she can’t write, it means she can afford someone to write for her. People have assumed that people in the past were illiterate, but actually, levels of literacy may have been higher than we think.’
A marvelous tale with which to celebrate Valentine’s Day.
Say I Love You – With Post-it Notes
Claire Northcott decided to declare her love for her boyfriend Gordon Husband by writing it on 500 Post-it notes. She then stuck them all over his pick-up truck. Ms Northcott, 33, said, ‘I spent over an hour-and-a-half writing the notes with felt-tip.’
Mr. Husband was understandably surprised when he spotted his vehicle outside the flat the couple share in Paignton, Devon, UK. ‘He said it was the most romantic thing anyone had ever done for him,’ observed Claire.
A Funny Valentine’s Love Story
He loved her so very much. He wanted this Valentine’s Day to be special. So he had ordered a bottle of her favorite drink, imported from France, and it had arrived in time for the occasion. On his way home, he stopped at the local florist. He had planned to have a bouquet made with her favorite flowers, white anemones. To his dismay, he found that the florist had sold all her flowers and had only a few sterns of feathery ferns left for decoration.
In a moment of inspiration, he had the answer. He asked the florist to make a bouquet using the flask of liquor instead of flowers and what she produced was magnificent well beyond his expectations.
He added a card and proceeded home. When he arrived, his wife was beautiful in her most elegant gown, and it was apparent that she had spent much of the day preparing a romantic candlelight dinner for the two of them.
He presented her with his gift, and she opened the card to read, “Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder.”
With a tear in her eye, she whispered to him lovingly, “Yes, and with fronds like these, who needs anemones.”

Valentine’s Day Love Story – Swans
The swan that fell in love with a pedal boat is backcourting its plastic lover after spending the winter in a local zoo
Swans choose a partner for life but the rare Black Australian swan nicknamed Petra made the mistake of falling for a pedal boat designed to look like a swan; and when Petra’s pedal boat lover refused to fly south for the winter Petra also remained, a move that could have killed her as the cold weather arrived.
In the end, though local zoo chiefs took pity on the swan and gave her and her boat boyfriend a place to spend the winter, and this week the pair were once again on the lake together.

Love, Love Me Do: A True Valentine’s Love Story
Lovers reunited after 17 years
A British man and his Spanish former love have finally married 16 years after they drifted apart, reunited by a love letter lost behind a fireplace for over a decade, Will and Guy have discovered.
Steve Smith and Carmen Ruiz-Perez, both now 42, fell in love 17 years ago when she was a foreign exchange student in Brixham, southwest England, and got engaged after only a year together. Their relationship ended after she moved to France to run a shop in Paris.
A few years later, in a bid to rekindle their love, Smith sent a letter to her mother’s home in Spain. It was placed on the mantelpiece, but slipped down behind the fireplace and was lost for over a decade. The missing letter was only found when builders removed the fireplace during renovation work.
‘When I got the letter I knew I had to make the call,’ Ruiz-Perez said. ‘When we met again it was like a film. We met up and fell in love all over again.’
‘I’m just glad the letter did eventually end up where it was supposed to be,’ Smith said after the couple married last Friday.
What a lovely story.
Bertrand Russell’s prudent words
Of all forms of caution, caution in love is perhaps the most fatal to true happiness.
The Old Man and The Dog – An Inspirational Story of Love by Catherine Moore
‘Watch out! You nearly broadsided that car!’ My father yelled at me.
‘Can’t you do anything right?’
Those words hurt worse than blows. I turned my head toward the elderly man in the seat beside me, daring me to challenge him. A lump rose in my throat as I averted my eyes. I wasn’t prepared for another battle.
‘I saw the car, Dad. Please don’t yell at me when I’m driving.’ My voice was measured and steady, sounding far calmer than I felt.
Dad glared at me, then turned away and settled back. At home, I left Dad in front of the television and went outside to collect my thoughts. Dark, heavy clouds hung in the air with a promise of rain. The rumble of distant thunder seemed to echo my inner turmoil.
What could I do about him?
Dad had been a lumberjack in Washington and Oregon. He had enjoyed being outdoors and had reveled in pitting his strength against the forces of nature. He had entered grueling lumberjack competitions and had placed often. The shelves in his house were filled with trophies that attested to his prowess.
The years marched on relentlessly. The first time he couldn’t lift a heavy log, he joked about it; but later that same day I saw him outside alone, straining to lift it. He became irritable whenever anyone teased him about his advancing age, or when he couldn’t do something he had done as a younger man.
Four days after his sixty-seventh birthday, he had a heart attack. An ambulance sped him to the hospital while a paramedic administered CPR to keep blood and oxygen flowing. At the hospital, Dad was rushed into an operating room. He was lucky; he survived.
But something inside Dad died. His zest for life was gone. He obstinately refused to follow the doctor’s orders. Suggestions and offers of help were turned aside with sarcasm and insults. The number of visitors thinned, then
finally stopped altogether. Dad was left alone.
My husband, Dick, and I asked Dad to come live with us on our small farm. We hoped the fresh air and rustic atmosphere would help him adjust. Within a week after he moved in, I regretted the invitation. It seemed nothing was satisfactory. He criticized everything I did. I became frustrated and moody. Soon I was taking my pent-up anger out on Dick. We began to bicker and argue. Alarmed, Dick sought out our pastor and explained the situation. The clergyman set up weekly counseling appointments for us. At the close of each session, he prayed, asking God to soothe Dad’s troubled mind. But the months wore on and God was silent. Something had to be done and it was up to me to do it.
The next day I sat down with the phone book and methodically called each of the mental health clinics listed in the Yellow Pages. I explained my problem to each of the sympathetic voices that answered. In vain. Just when I was giving up hope, one of the voices suddenly exclaimed, ‘I just read something that might help you! Let me go get the article.’ I listened as she read. The article described a remarkable study done at a nursing home. All of the patients were under treatment for chronic depression. Yet their attitudes had improved dramatically when they were given responsibility for a dog.
I drove to the animal shelter that afternoon. After I filled out a questionnaire, a uniformed officer led me to the kennels. The odor of disinfectant stung my nostrils as I moved down the row of pens. Each contained five to seven dogs. Long-haired dogs, curly-haired dogs, black dogs, and spotted dogs all jumped up, trying to reach me. I studied each one but rejected one after the other for various reasons too big, too small, too much hair. As I neared the last pen a dog in the shadows of the far corner struggled to his feet, walked to the front of the run, and sat down. It was a pointer, one of the dog world’s aristocrats. But this was a caricature of the breed. Years had etched his face and muzzle with shades of gray. His hipbones jutted out in lopsided triangles. But it was his eyes that caught and held my attention. Calm and clear, they beheld me unwaveringly.
I pointed to the dog. ‘Can you tell me about him?’ The officer looked, then shook his head in puzzlement.
‘He’s a funny one. Appeared out of nowhere and sat in front of the gate. We brought him in, figuring someone would be right down to claim him. That was two weeks ago and we’ve heard nothing. His time is up tomorrow.’ He gestured helplessly.
As the words sank in I turned to the man in horror. ‘You mean you’re going to kill him?’
‘Ma’am,’ he said gently, ‘that’s our policy. We don’t have room for every unclaimed dog.’
I looked at the pointer again. The calm brown eyes awaited my decision. ‘I’ll take him,’ I said.
I drove home with the dog in the front seat beside me. When I reached the house I honked the horn twice. I was helping my prize out of the car when Dad shuffled onto the front porch.
‘Ta-da! Look what I got for you, Dad!’ I said excitedly.
Dad looked, then wrinkled his face in disgust. ‘If I had wanted a dog I would have gotten one. And I would have picked out a better specimen than that bag of bones. Keep it! I don’t want it’ Dad waved his arm scornfully and turned back toward the house.
Anger rose inside me. It squeezed together my throat muscles and pounded into my temples.
‘You’d better get used to him, Dad. He’s staying!’ Dad ignored me. ‘Did you hear me, Dad?’ I screamed. At those words Dad whirled angrily, his hands clenched at his sides, his eyes narrowed and blazing with hate.
We stood glaring at each other like duellists when suddenly the pointer pulled free from my grasp. He wobbled toward my dad and sat down in front of him. Then slowly, carefully, he raised his paw.
Dad’s lower jaw trembled as he stared at the uplifted paw. Confusion replaced the anger in his eyes. The pointer waited patiently. Then Dad was on his knees hugging the animal.
It was the beginning of a warm and intimate friendship. Dad named the pointer Cheyenne. Together he and Cheyenne explored the community. They spent long hours walking down dusty lanes. They spent reflective moments on
the banks of streams, angling for tasty trout. They even started to attend Sunday services together, Dad sitting in a pew and Cheyenne lying quietly at his feet.
Dad and Cheyenne were inseparable throughout the next three years. Dad’s bitterness faded, and he and Cheyenne made many friends. Then late one night I was startled to feel Cheyenne’s cold nose burrowing through our bed covers. He had never before come into our bedroom at night. I woke Dick, put on my robe, and ran into my father’s room. Dad lay in his bed, his face serene. But his spirit had left quietly sometime during the night.
Two days later my shock and grief deepened when I discovered Cheyenne lying dead beside Dad’s bed. I wrapped his still form in the rag rug he had slept on. As Dick and I buried him near a favorite fishing hole, I silently thanked the dog for the help he had given me in restoring Dad’s peace of mind.
The morning of Dad’s funeral dawned overcast and dreary. This day looks like the way I feel, I thought, as I walked down the aisle to the pews reserved for family. I was surprised to see the many friends Dad and Cheyenne had made filling the church. The pastor began his eulogy. It was a tribute to both Dad and the dog who had changed his life. And then the pastor turned to Hebrews 13:2. ‘Be not forgetful to entertain strangers.’
‘I’ve often thanked God for sending that angel,’ he said.
For me, the past dropped into place, completing a puzzle that I had not seen before: the sympathetic voice that had just read the right article …
Cheyenne’s unexpected appearance at the animal shelter. . .his calm acceptance and complete devotion to my father and the proximity of their deaths. And suddenly I understood. I knew that God had answered my prayers after all.
Life is too short for drama and petty things, so laugh hard, love truly, and forgive quickly. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.

Another Good Angel Joke
Just before Valentine’s Day God was looking down at Earth and saw all of the evil that was going on. He decided to send an angel down to Earth to check it out. So he called one of His best angels and sent the angel to Earth for a time. When she returned she told God, yes it is bad on Earth, 95% is bad and 5% is good.
Well, he thought for a moment and said, maybe I had better send down a second angel to get another point of view. So God called another angel and sent her to Earth for a time too. When the angel returned she went to God and told him, yes, the Earth was in decline, 95% was bad and 5% was good.
God said this was not good. So He decided to email the 5% that were good and He wanted to encourage them, give them a little something to help them keep going.
Do you know what that email said? Ah, so you didn’t get one either?

for me
Cupid, please hear my cry
And let your arrow fly
Straight to my lover’s heart for me
Now I don’t mean to bother you
But I’m in distress
There’s a danger of me losing all of my happiness
For I love a girl who doesn’t know I exist
And this you can fix
So, Cupid, draw back your bow
And let your arrow go
Straight to my lover’s heart for me
Nobody but me
Cupid, please hear my cry
And let your arrow fly
Straight to my lover’s heart for me
Now, Cupid, if your arrow makes his love strong for me
I promise I will love him until eternity
I know between the two of us his heart we can steal
Help me if you will
So, Cupid, draw back your bow
And let your arrow go
Straight to my
lover’s heart for me
Nobody but me
Cupid, please hear my cry
And let your arrow fly
Straight to my lover’s heart for me
Now, Cupid, don’t you hear me calling you, I need you,
Cupid, help me.
Words by Sam Cooke.
Ode To The Christmas Tree Angel
The time had come around again it was time to get our tree
In the car, we piled us boys, my sister on Mum’s knee
Out into the country, Dad drove for miles and miles
When at last he found the place, we could not contain our smiles.
Dad headed to the tall pine trees, his sharpest axe in hand
Dutiful behind him trailed his merry little band
At last, he spied the one he sought, a sapling straight and tall
“This will please your mum,” he said,
indeed it pleased us all.
With swift clean strokes, he had in no time cut it down
We placed the tree atop the car and headed back to town
The decorating of the tree this year will be supervised by Mum
The final piece, “The Angel” would be placed by the youngest one.
This year my baby brother will be helped by sis and me
But as we lifted the baby up we tripped and fell into the tree
Tangled in the trimmings
we rode the tree as down it came
Mid tears and cries right through the lounge room window pane.
I carried on tradition with my children every year
But when it came to “Angel” time up came a nagging fear
Of breaking glass and angels’ wings
and the message that it sent
To place my tree in a great big pot in reinforced cement!
Valentine’s Day Cats and Dogs
Will and Guy believe that cats and dogs get more pampering than many men and even some women.
True Story – Bakery for Dogs Opens in Paris
An award-winning pastry chef has opened a bakery in Paris that caters only to dogs. Mon Bon Chien sells bacon biscuits in the shape of a cat and also bone-shaped cookies made of foie gras reports the BBC.
The owner is Harriet Sternstein who moved to Paris from the US with her dog Sophie-Marie. Sophie-Marie inspired the new business for her owner, who decided the best way to make a living was to combine her biggest enthusiasms – pastries, and pets.
‘Everything is made in the back of the boutique’, said Ms. Sternstein, ‘Every day, I make 200 to 300 biscuits, and special orders are taken daily.’
‘The Parisians come – and for the first time they think it’s very funny and they look at it and buy the ones that they think are the cutest. Then the dogs come back and choose which flavors they like the best.
‘I change flavors, based on what’s going on, I will be creating a special biscuit for Valentine’s Day.’
Mr. Mouse, can you get out of that without moving?
Valentine Chihuahua Puppy

According to owner Emiko Sakurada, as reported in the Daily Mail, this is the first occasion a puppy with such marks had been born out of the more than one thousand Chihuahuas she has bred.

Dating Agency for Parrots
An ornithologist who set up a dating agency for lonely parrots says it has been a huge success.
Rita Ohnhauser has already brought 1,300 lonely hearts together in Berlin and unlike other matchmakers she knows her pairs will never split – because the birds mate for life.
‘In the wild parrots search out a life partner and then spend every minute of the day with them, but when they are kept as pets they are mainly alone and get very depressed, ‘said Ohnhauser.
She added that parrot owners across Germany had started bringing their feathered friends to the sanctuary to find a mate, and she currently had 150 parrots busy ‘getting acquainted’ with other birds.
‘Birds experience love at first sight just like humans. But others make a really careful choice before entering a relationship. It can take up to three months, she said.

Saudi’s Ban Red Roses on St Valentine’s Day
Religious police in Saudi Arabia have banned red roses for St Valentine’s Day. The Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice has ordered florists in Riyadh to remove any items colored scarlet, which symbolizes
love.
One report said: ‘The religious police visited us last night. It is not unusual for the authorities to clamp down ahead of Valentine’s Day, which it sees as encouraging relations between men and women outside of wedlock.
It is to be remembered that Sunni Islam prevents unrelated men and women from mixing. It also bans women from driving and demands that they wear a headscarf and a cloak. Relations outside marriage are punishable by law.
Chinese Sceptics
Using phrases such as ‘foxy lady’, ‘handsome guy’, and ‘moneybags’ in marriage adverts has been banned in part of China, in a campaign to stamp out fraud.

Chinese Roo Tattoo
The official story
Joanne Raine has had her boyfriend’s nickname ‘Roo’ tattooed on her stomach; it was supposed to be a sign of her undying love. The 19-year-old from Darlington, UK paid £80 [$156]for the Chinese artwork and was delighted with the results. That was until she displayed the tattoo in a Chinese takeaway, locals said that it it spelled the word ‘supermarket.’
The pair have now split up, but Miss Raine said she will keep the tattoo because she cannot afford a new one.
The tattoo story according to Will and Guy’s friend Professor Lin
‘What I think happened’, says Prof Lin, ‘is that Joanne asked for Roo and picked the three letters, ‘R’, ‘O’ and ‘o’ from the tattooist’s alphabetical chart’. The professor has kindly highlighted the three symbols in question.
Furthermore, the professor thinks that the official story is misguided because the Chinese for supermarket would be:

Valentine’s Day ideas for a boy
Valentine’s Day ideas for a boy have two connotations, Will and Guy have concentrated on advice to girls on how to select a gift for their beloved. However, it’s not hard to switch ‘girl’ for ‘boy’, and ‘she’ for ‘he’, and thus help boys choose a surprise gift for their girlfriend.
Ideas For a Boy on Valentine’s Day – Will and Guy Have Suggestions:
- Ask the young man first. About a week before Valentine’s Day, chat casually to your boyfriend and ask if he has anything special in mind that he’d appreciate. Don’t overdo it or he will become suspicious..
- Is he a romantic? Does he appreciate a romantic approach that will involve booking a special restaurant for a five-course meal or filling the swimming pool with rose petals? Or is he more comfortable with just the usual night on the town with lots of laughter and favorite beers as the two of you in a pub? You know best how he feels, so make use of this knowledge to plan a special night together.
- Do something rather than give something. If he has long wanted his hair dyed black, you could buy him some hair dye and prepare a home salon and dye it for him. Make sure you feel confident enough to get it right! You could also do this for home pedicures, massages, a yoga lesson, etc. – anything you have said you’d get around to helping him do or learn someday.
- Always do homemade. It’s not just about buying stuff. Valentine’s is really about showing that you care. Make your boyfriend a card that says how much you love him. Write a poem or some sweet prose. Anything to say how much you care about him and the reasons why. Many people just love being told the exact reasons why they matter so much; this can be the best gift of all. Use our site ideas.
- A kiss is a gift!
- Bake something for your sweetheart. Bake some heart-shaped cakes or biscuits with hundreds and thousands, and with “I love you” printed on them in icing. Arrange it in a box and present it to him with a card. Decorate a photo of the two of you. This is a very personalized and caring gift.
You’ll never guess what I’ve bought you for Valentine’s Day!
An Interesting Love Potion
I know that you’re a little shy,
But don’t let that bother you;
‘Cause I’ve got the perfect recipe
For a very special brew!
The first few steps begin with you,
Now you really must believe…
With a little confidence
There’s so much you can achieve!
So, first, you take a cup of wonder,
Blend in a little adoration,
Combine that with a dash of faith
And let this be your foundation!
Add a little splash of wisdom
And a nice big shot of fun,
Then mix in a bit of starlight;
Soon the magic has begun!
Stir in a little twist of hope,
And a nice big dash of glee;
A bit of luck and patience
Will help make your destiny!
Now just add a splash of truth
And pour it all into a jar,
Then think about the one you love
And wish upon a star!
Valentine’s Day Ideas for a Girl
Background
My dearest wife is always going on and on and ON about NOT making a fuss over her on Valentine’s Day. She repeats that it’s the thought that counts.
Well, I put a lot of thought into the gifts from previous February 14ths but she didn’t quite take to any of them like I assumed she would. Here’s my list – see what you think:
- Brand new mop and bucket. I was thinking it would be fun to see what color the floor was because I couldn’t remember.
- Romantic dinner at a fast food restaurant. I was thinking that she might like to go inside for a change instead of fetching dinner at the drive-through.
- Chocolates left over from last year’s candy box. I was thinking of how proud she’d be of me for not wasting food. She’s been nagging me for years to recycle.
- Midnight moped ride through the park. I was thinking that I was getting too old to be peddling on the bike.
- Dozen roses printed on high-quality photo paper. One of my favorites is this – I thought these would last a lifetime instead of just a week.
- 45-second back massage. I was thinking any longer and she might think I was interested in something else.
- Windows 8 I was thinking how proud she would be to be a part of the technology crowd.

The Perfect Lovers’ Island Discovered
A tiny heart-shaped island in the Adriatic Sea has become a holiday hit for St Valentine’s Day after being discovered on Google Earth. Even the uninhabited island’s owner didn’t realize how perfectly heart-shaped the island off the Croatian coast was until he was swamped with requests from lovers to stay there.
‘It has been incredible. We think it is the most perfect heart-shaped island in the world,’ said Vlado Juresko, whose family owns the 130,000 square yard islet of Galesnjak, hastily renamed “Lovers’ Island”. ‘Nobody lives there so if lovers do want to spend time alone it’s the perfect desert island. We always thought it looked a bit like a heart but since it’s been on Google Earth everyone else has seen it too and the whole world seems to want to stay here.’

Valentine Shock
St Valentine ‘Not the Saint of Love’
Britain’s Roman Catholic Church is advising lovelorn singles to direct their 14 February requests for love to St Raphael, rather than St Valentine. Over the years St Valentine has come incorrectly to be associated with finding love, the Church says. He is the patron saint for those who have already found their soul mate. St Raphael is the patron saint for happy encounters and it is to him those fearing the Valentine’s post should properly direct their prayers.

Juliet, who now lives with Michael in Manchester, said, ‘Every girl dreams of a fairytale romance and you couldn’t get better than this.’

Valentine’s Day Love Poems
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday’s
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood faith.
I love thee with a love
I seemed to lose
With my lost saints,-I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life!-and, if God chooses,
I shall but love thee better after death.
by Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Hindsight [A humorous Valentine poem]
I said to you, ‘Oh, please be mine;
Be mine forever, Valentine.’
I must have seemed like quite a fool,
Although I thought I was being cool.
I swore that we would never part,
As I put my hand upon my heart.
