It’s not that I don’t love you every day.

It’s not the first time you’ve heard the words.

It’s not the gifts, or the flowers, or the chocolates

although all of those, you deserve.

It’s the fact that on one day every year, millions of people focus on the ones they hold dear.

All the years they’ve spent

All the tears they’ve shed

All the times they’ve shared

together

It’s the thought that makes it special.

The celebration of one more year with the one I love.

And I love you

to the moon and back.
