Who do you love? Let us count the ways! Girlbysea came into my life, Cooled me out ended my strife. Our sweet lovemaking is only outdone, By walking her beach under the sun. She can’t cook, but boy can she clean, And, strange as it seems, thinks I am keen. Footrubs and back rubs, silver chains a delight, Watching my re-runs night after night. Cooking sans fat, I always take care. Compliments a plenty on her short blondish hair. My chauffeur in mornings, my masseuse at night, I can’t beat the chick who thinks that I’m “tight!” Those long good-bye kisses as I head to sea, Get me through the long nights admirably. No gift I’d love more if it fell from above, 'Cept my sweet, sweet GBS and all of her love. ---

I love her, She loves him, He loves somebody else, now, You just can’t win… I’ve had the reds, the blues and the pinks, What else can you say now? HAPPY VALENTINES to those in the appropriate position! And to the rest of us… Well, XXXXXXXXXXXXX ---

In a fashion somewhat atypical of an English major, I’m going to admit that my words fall woefully short, and will brutally plagiarize someone else in order to get my point across. Y’all know who this one’s for. i carry your heart with me(i carry it in my heart)i am never without it(anywhere i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done by only me is your doing,my darling) i fear no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true) and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you here is the deepest secret nobody knows (here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide) and this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart) - e. e. cummings * * * “Buffalo Bills?

To the keeper of my heart; Just Just when I thought you most elusive, Like sweet kismet you appeared randomly seeking entrance to my heart. Just when darkness enveloped my spirit, like shafts of brilliant sunlight your smile illuminated my lonely, shadowed existence. Just when I resigned to abandon love, your warmth and tenderness melted the frozen ice cap that surrounded my soul. Just when I thought to never trust again, like the unrestrained butterfly, your love gave me wings to rise above all doubt, and soar to heights I have never known. ``` Marva ``` * * * I really try to be good but it just isn’t in my nature! ---

A new turn on an old subject. Just thought I’d let you in on my darker side. The angel this is for knows who she is… Sinister Kisses Sinister kisses, I give You, When You’re least expecting them, And I know You’ve been lonely. Calculated whispers, I place in Your ear, Time and time again they work. A little magic trick I learned. My clandestine plan falls into place. What I do is not deceptive, But only meant to secure this treasure. Stealthy notes, deposited 'round You, When You have time to doubt Your love. I leave nothing to chance. With a premeditated back massage, I exploit Your untended heart, And hold Your faith in my hands. This secret design that I’ve come up with, Acts as my arms to wrap around You, And keep You close to me. My devious scheme is only to have You. It may seem corrupt, But this is how my mind works.

Girlbysea walks by the shore. She has her ocean, and much, much more. She would walk in the sun, day after day, just hoping to find him… someday. It happened on one summer day. His ship had sailed, into the bay. Their eyes met, and she knew right away, that he was special, in a different way. Off to the ocean side, she took this man, to show him her world, hand in hand. One night by the ocean,they fell in love. Their hearts united by the stars above. His love has meant the world to me. I wait for him to return from sea. He has my heart out there somewhere, and I have his, and will handle it with care. I walk by the sea, waiting in the sand. My arms will be empty, until he takes my hand. I love you ChiefScott, and you’ll always know. Your GBS, will let it show… * * * * * * Girlbysea (AKA: ChiefScott’s GBS) ---

You know that poem that Drain printed above? The one about carrying your heart? Well, I carry it with me always. A copy she printed for me is in my wallet. The edges are ripped, and it was ripped on the edges of her sink when I was there. So I carry the heart-carrying poem always. Better, every day, I read it. Better yet, every day, I live it. * * * Yer pal, Satan ---

The sky is heavy and the road is wet it glistens in the night like a lit cigarette, I got a dollar in my pocket how much you want to bet that you ain’t thinkin’ 'bout me. There were good times and bad times and something in between, and for awhile you were the best thing that I’d ever seen then one day, don’t know why, you up and turned mean, and you ain’t thinkin’ 'bout me. I wish I had a headache I wish I had the flu or somebody or something else, or something else to do, because the last thing I want is to be thinkin’ ‘bout you when you ain’t thinkin’ bout me no you ain’t thinkin’ 'bout me anymore ---

you guys are a trip…lol. Wish I could fall in love as fast as some of you do. Or with the type of people that you do. Maybe one day. At any rate…not talking about the same kind of love…but the friendship kind…CanadianSue is about the best buddy a person can have. Her phone line is never busy and she never tells you what an idiot you are…even though you already know. So my love in friendship would be my buddy…CanadianSue. She is the kind of friend that is true to the end…and I’ve literally seen people that were supposed to be her “friends” cut her literally to her soul and yet although they will never be close to her again, she still allows them a small part of her life because that’s just the kind of person she is.

it is hard for me to articulate something that is not painful during this time which is supposed to be so happy, with people gushing and lovely to one another. Valentine’s is not my favourite day, though I’ve often wished otherwise. but for all those who have come into my life, for them during this time: I wanted to change your world, universe, life Instead of merely hesitantly touching it With shy glances and roaming hands. * * * I am a fire whose flames lick and spit at the boundless sky forever desiring wonderous consummation -me [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/who-do-you-love-why-1st-v-day-thread/13236.md?page=2)
