Valentine's Day

This will officially be my twenty second Valentine's day being single, for some it will be a painful event because they do not have anybody to spend it with. For me, I have an excuse. I am doing COS duty in camp. Ha. Anyway this is for you singles out there, hope this will make you feel better.

Nobody's Heart
Lyrics by Lorenz Hart, music by Richard Rodgers
Nobody's heart belongs to me,
heigh-ho, who cares?
Nobody writes his songs to me,no one belongs to me.
That's the least of my cares.

I may sad at times,and disinclined to play,
but it's not bad at times,
to go your own sweet way.

Nobody's arms belongs to me,
no arms feel strong to me.
I admire the moon, as a moon, just a moon

Nobody's heart belongs to me today.

This song is a jazz classic that in a sense promotes singlehood but it also presents a glimmer of hope that one day the singer might find the one he/she will be together with. Enjoy.

By the way, Valentine's day came about because of a defiant priest called (you guessed it) Valentine, who continued to marry loving couples even though the Pope banned marriages because people were getting married and not joining the army. He was executed(How romantic). A very long time later he was bestowed sainthood and 14 February became the day of his feast.
