I’m Not Looking For A Valentine

I’m not looking for a Valentine
That much I know is true
I’m happy being by myself
And not buying meals for two

I’m not looking for a Valentine
I know that sounds so harsh
I’m happy being by myself
And keeping all me ca®sh

I’m not looking for a Valentine
That may make me seem a bore
But I’m happy being by myself
A singleton for evermore

I’m not looking for a Valentine
I don’t mean to go on and on
I’m really happy being by myself
And I, erm, no – hang on

I’m not looking for a Valentine
Of that, I’m sure I’m sure
But what if one were to come along
With a love that’s so true and pure?

I’m not looking for a Valentine
Of that, I can safely say
But if my Valentine comes to me
Would I run away?

I would!!! LoL!!! 🙂

I tried relationships, but my lack of income always made them fail.

The only woman I ever committed to died suddenly and broke my heart, so I have not looked for a replacement since… 😦

God Bless! 🙂

Prenin.

  I’d probably run a mile as well, Prenin. If they came a-knockin’, that is!

I’m going to be giving away a Valentine Voodoo Doll on my blog, Tom. Maybe you should try to win it. 🙂

Love it! To run or not to run… that is the question…

Personally? Truthfully? Hand on Beating Heart? Sir Aquatom I would run in the opposite direction as if the hounds of hell were after me. Romance, all to well and good for t’novels and poetry but real life? Cracks me up it doth. Too much bother keeping a smile on yer face when things are wrong, n’ having someone else hog t’bathroom? Sigh, And of course losing yer ‘ca®sh’ is a main factor too, sharing hard earned do®sh? no way hose’ 😉 xPenx

  I don’t think I’m romantic enough, for romance, Lady P. I’m not athletic enough for running either, but that’s the better option methinks!

I’ve been on my own way too long to know how to share living space and anyway, I’d be tired doing all the picking up and cooking, although I enjoy cooking. 😛

  I like being by myself, Tess – well, with a headful of characters I may not exactly be ‘by myself’ but you get what I mean… and I don’t cook very well either. I do a mean warming in the microwave though.

Maybe you’re looking for a Valentine to find you, Tom?

  Maybe, subconsciously, I possibly am, LA. But consciously, I’m hiding myself away from any approaching Valentine. Trying to, anyway…

  I know, Tilly. Being the catch I am, it should have happened years ago! 😉
