Valentine Schmalentine

I can hear the boos and the 'sour grapes' already...but hear me out!!! I am NOT anti-Valentine...and I am definitely NOT anti-love. If anything I am as pro-Love as it gets: I am a born romantic. So what's wrong with Valentine's? Nothing. And if nothing is so wrong about Valentine's then everyday should be Valentine's or at least everyday should have the signature stamp of Valentine Spirit. That is what I say.
Spring came to the city with a bang like it does every year with its plethora of new leaves, overdose of orange/yellow clothes for everyone, crisp air (more like wind) and lots and lots of flowers. Yellow roses are the most coveted (though not most uncommon) gift for near and dear ones this season. And not the government's restriction on free talktime for cell phones nor the opposition's strike minded attitude could curb down the enthusiasm of lovesick people of the day.
I have all the good wishes for the lovebirds. It is indeed a matter of luck to have someone special to love and to hold and to share ups and downs with. This Valentine's love is in the air for most of my closest friends...and the special dedication goes out to all of them. It is courageous on the part of lovers to stand up for their love and they deserve every iota of each other's love. Love is lovely; and so are people in love. Every where around me there's an air of Happily-ever afters. Well not really....but that's where they're heading.
So although the song is not mine to dedicate but I would still dedicate the following lines to people who have finally found love, who are already in love, and those who still believe in love.

Lay a whisper on my pillow,
leave the winter on the ground.
I wake up lonely,there's air of silence in the bedroom and all around.
Touch me now,I close my eyes and dream away.

It must have been Love.

And it was.
