The Day Before Valentine

I remember those days at secondary school

Hopes piled up to a mountain

Girls behaving

Boys repenting

On those days

Girls dreamt

Boys didn't sleep

Everyone frenzied about the morrow

Waiting for surprises that began at noon night

While hearts raced

And minds walked

People laughed

And some fought

All for a blessed day

Coming tomorrow

For some, love; for some, sorrow

Known as Valentine
