On Valentine's Days' End

How then?

First date.

Valentine's Day.

You lose the bet, blink first.

I kiss you anyway.

First decade.

Two kids, three moves.

Not all red roses.

Days I can't stand you.

Always love you.

First death.

Kids cry.

I count those days:

Time wasted,

Crushing weight.

How do I, how can I...
