I do not have a boyfriend
I am not half
of a couple
I am alone.

Singly I stand
this St. Valentines Day
wearing pink and eating treats
telling myself
I couldn't care less

But I do care
even though
this day was meant to celebrate brotherly love
and not romantic

But I do care
standing alone
surrounded by people
I wonder why
I am alone

I shouldn't care
it doesn't matter
I'm better off this way
But I do care
