Happy Valentine's Day

[WillParkinson]

Full of love, happiness, and joy
To each and ever girl and boy,
We have the will, the hope and smarts
to hopefully change some hardened hearts.
To realize that love is free
For each of them plus you and me.
So join me now on Valentine's Day
A day of love, both straight and gay.

:hug: to all the wonderful people of DU.

(And, yeah, even to you lurkers from the dark side. Now ya got gay cooties.)

1. For you..."The More Loving One " by W. H. Auden

Looking up at the stars, I know quite well
That, for all they care, I can go to hell,
But on earth indifference is the least
We have to dread from man or beast.

How should we like it were stars to burn
With a passion for us we could not return?
If equal affection cannot be,
Let the more loving one be me.

Admirer as I think I am
Of stars that do not give a damn,
I cannot, now I see them, say
I missed one terribly all day.

Were all stars to disappear or die,
I should learn to look at an empty sky
And feel its total dark sublime,
Though this might take me a little time.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Hugh Jackman - Love Don't Need a Reason

If your heart always did
What a normal heart should do
If you always play a part
Instead of being who you really are

Then(And) you might just miss
The one who's standing there
So instead of passing by
Show him(the someone) that you care
Instead asking why
Why me? And why you?
Why not we two?

'Cause love don't need a reason
Love don't always rhyme
And love is all we have for now
What we don't have is time

If we always believe
All the madness that we're taught
Never questioning the rules
Then we(you)'re living lies we(you) bought so long ago
How are they to know?

It's not who's wrong or right
It's just another way
And I don't wanna fight(It's not about a fight)
But know I'm gonna(It's just I wanna) stay with you till the end
With you my friend

'Cause love don't need a reason
Love don't always rhyme
And love is all we have for now
What we don't have is time

I'll hold you close
Time can't(won't) tear us apart
Forever, I will stand by you
We've(It's) got to start with the beat of one heart
Together, we will(can) see this through

'Cause love don't need a reason
Love's never a crime
And love is all we have for now
What we don't have
What we don't have is time
