Valentine's Day By: Michael Dykhoff 2/14/02 7 a.m. I turn off the alarm clock. Look at the calendar with a shock. February 14th was the day, And I was alone, feeling this way. So I lie down and stare at the ceiling, And try hard to forget the feeling. Being lonely on a day like this, Isn�t something I would wish. I�ve got to get out of my house, before the day gets to me. I don�t know what�s going to happen, so I�ll just wait and see. Listen to love songs all day long. Every track seems like a sad, sad song. I just want to go to sleep and make it go away. Because I've got no one on this special day. Every couple makes me feel worse. I really think it could be a curse. It�s not right, but I guess its okae. To be alone on Valentines Day. 11 a.m. I was walking buy the paper. I saw my ex-girlfriend minuets later She was walking with some guy. I tried not to stare as they passed me by. Everything seems like a bad dream. All these couples make me want to scream. 1 p.m. I got home I went back to my room. Hoping the day would be over soon. I walked in and almost fell down, There were candy hearts scattered all around. They seemed to cover the whole floor. I stepped on a few as I ran out the door. It was 3 p.m. when I turned on the T.V. Every channel was showing a romance movie. I didn�t want to see some romance flick, With some dude loving some chick. 7 p.m. there was a knock on my door. It was a girl I had never seen before. She told me she was new in town. And wanted to know if I could show her around. So I grabbed my coat and headed out the door. Hoping she was something more. Listen to love songs all day long. Every track seems like a sad, sad song. I just want to go to sleep and make it go away. Because I�ve got no one on this special day. Every couple makes me feel worse. I really think it could be a curse. It�s not right, but I guess its okae. To be alone on Valentines Day. We walked up the sidewalk. Through the park, and down the block. 9 p.m. grabbed some ice cream and started to talk. She said I was cute, I told her she rocked. Now nothings what I thought it would be. She�s seeing me the way I want her to see. Maybe I'm wrong, but maybe I�m right. To feel the way I feel tonight. She makes me feel better. I�m so glad I met her. Then I hear ringing in my head. I sit up and wonder why I�m in my bed. Was this all just some dream? 7 a.m. again, Valentines Day makes me want to scream. Listen to love songs all day long. Every track seems like a sad, sad song. I just want to go to sleep and make it go away. Because I�ve got no one on this special day. Every couple makes me feel worse. I really think it could be a curse. It�s not right, but I guess its okae, To be alone on Valentines Day.
