a Pre-Valentine Sonnet for the Single

people who are not single are also welcome to read this sonnet

dear friends,

i’m grateful that you’re here.
thank you for being here and you.
and now, here is a Pre-Valentine Sonnet for the Single that i wrote some years ago:

Will you please be my Valentine, or not?
The day is coming up, so answer quick.
If I don't have a mate right on the dot,

I know that you don't know me very well,
But…
