“Valentines for Life”

When it comes to Valentine’s Day,
I’m not pressured to dress up.
I don’t need to act a certain way,
I can be myself, even without makeup.

I’m not pressured to dress up;

And my hubby enjoys saving money with a grin.

I can be myself, even without makeup,

As we prefer low key nights in.

My hubby enjoys saving money with a grin.

We prefer to order take out or cook.

Since we prefer low key nights in,

Even in my comfiest clothes, I make him lovingly look.

Though we prefer to order take out or cook,

We keep each other on a healthy track together.

Even in my comfiest clothes, I make him lovingly look,

And I know there is nothing we can’t weather.

We keep each other on a healthy track together,

As we are not just hubby and wife.

He is one of my best friends as there is nothing we can’t weather.

We are valentines for life.

We are not just hubby and wife,

And I don’t need to act a certain way.

We are valentines for life,

Especially when it comes to Valentine’s Day.
