It Is Not

It is not pretty flowers,
Candlelit tables, bubbling wine,
Or expensive chocolates.

It is not lacy lingerie,
Satin sheets, silken skin,
Or sultry perfume.

It is not token presents,
Thoughtful gifts, mushy cards,
Or precious diamonds.

It is not something shown one day,
One night, one date,
Or even one moment.

It is not limited to,
Defined by, proven by,
Or even debunked by
Valentine’s Day.
