My, oh, my dear Valentine…
A lot of jewels…I love you
A lot of money…I love you
A lot of fame… I love you
A lot of power…I love you
A lot of beauty… I love you
A lot of intellect…I love you
Please be mine because,
I said, “I love you.”

The author's comments:
The irony I see in things, primarily human behavior and thought, inspired me to write this piece. However, my dad did write one similar to it some 20 years ago, mine focuses on the fallback of love- that love can be blinding.
