YESTERDAY,
MY VALENTINE'S DAY
When I ended my usual 9pm to 6am date with my
bed
And indeed it was Valentine’s Day as the
calendar had already declared,
I wasn't thrilled, nay!
Cos Yesterday
Was my Valentine’s Day
When I came across the word love
As I had my quiet time with Our Father above,
I didn't lose concentration, nay!
Cos yesterday
Was my Valentine’s Day.
When my mum served my breakfast of tea and
bread
And beside the flask sat a fresh pack of
chocolate spread
My tongue wasn't excited to taste, nay!
Cos yesterday
Was my Valentine’s Day
When I opened my wardrobe to choose a shirt
and a tie
And the slim red one with pride said hi
I wasn't filled with glee, nay!
Cos yesterday
Was my Valentine’s Day
When I entered my office and the dispenser
was filled with chocolate beverage
And someone was sipping a glass of it as she
read a text message,
I wasn't jealous, nay!
Cos yesterday
Was my Valentine’s Day
As I go round to fill a form or to give a
client his policy certificate,
If I see people exchanging cards, roses and
bars of chocolate,
I won't be sad, nay!
Cos yesterday
Was my Valentine’s Day.
After work if I see people in red going out
in pairs
And restaurant attendant busily arranging
drinks and chairs
I wouldn't be tempted instead I’ll pick my
phone and dial the number
Of the one who sleeps in my heart's special
chamber
And tell her:
Gracias por hacer el
día de ayer mi San Valentín
Which simply means thanks for making
yesterday
My valentine's day.
