Valentine's Day

Lined white paper

I carried it around in my pocket

All day

Just in case you wanted to talk to me

I kept checking to make sure it was there

Just in case you decided to smile at me today

She's got a flower

Just as pretty as her

I watched you chase after her

Like you always wanted to

I watched her smile at you

Like I used to

Crumpled white lined paper

Song lyrics that reminded me of you scribbled on it

I take it out of my pocket

And shove it in a desk drawer

I don’t know what I’m supposed to do with it now
