Dark chocolates were not the ones I asked for

That’s what he wanted on Valentine’s Day

I had to make a special trip to buy one or four

Big blocks of sweet Darrell Lea without delay

Red roses were what I secretly wished for

But that’s not what I got on every Valentine’s Day

He had to rush to a Coles to get a bouquet of Sunflowers

Too old to be on display, Quick Sale without delay

Dark chocolates and sunflowers are now what I long for

That sweet bitter smooth velvet melting taste lingers for days

I bring out my best crystal vase and empty a sachet of Floralife

Hoping my old flowers come back to life and last for days
