It came via messenger same as last year.
Eight years in a row now.
Small package, neatly wrapped with 
red and white paper.
A pretty yellow rose, her fave and a short 
handwritten letter.

Suzana, I love you Girl.
Have for the longest time.
Please, won't you please, be my Valentine.

She responded, same as last year.
Eight years in a row now.
Short typed message on a plain white paper.
Folded neatly and sent via messenger.

Jose you're awfully sweet.
Appreciate the gift.
But you've got to understand.
My heart beats in the body of another man.

Two days later to her surprise, he answered.
That didn't happen last year.
Or any other year she can remember. 
Handwritten note, small package, neatly 
wrapped with plain brown paper.

She read the note first..

Suzana, you are a cruel bitch.
But I still love you.
Hope you understand.
Your cold, cold, heart, that's what 
you've got in your hand.
 
These will be my last lines.
Adios Mi Amor.
Have A Happy Valentines
