A poetic teenager, who goes by the name of Romeo, was asked to write a love poem for the prayer ceremony at the church where he attends for Valentine's Day. However, he had no desire to write such a poem if it wasn't for his beloved, Juliet.
On his way home he was greeted by a man who wore red from head to toe. Romeo stared blankly at the unfamiliar man who was standing before him. With a wise and warm smile, the stranger said, "Young Romeo, do not doubt the love you possess. Examine the depths of your heart for the person who is your most beloved. What direction does it take you?"
While observing the stranger in front of him closely, Romeo asked, "Please forgive me if I come across as harsh and disrespectful to you, but who are you?"
"Young man, do you truly not recognize me? You were requested to write a poem for me at the prayer ceremony," the stranger said.
Romeo gasps in disbelief and swiftly kneels, crying in front of him. "You are St. Valentine? Sir, I am unable to express myself romantically unless it's for Juliet, my one and only true love. Please guide me through this confusing situation."
Romeo simply received a smile and goes to Juliet and kiss her forehead, and say "I'll come back for you my Juliet."
At home he writes down a poem consist of his expressive love for Juliet
A Love from the Dust
To my dearest Juliet, we've been best friends since highschool

As the air turns in to dust, I will always love you
Even if we are apart and even when you are near
I love you even if your hair turns to gray,
My Juliet the love of my life
I'm gonna cherish our memory that always brings joy to us
