she was an aquarius,

born on february 14

at 4:36 a.m.

she had the constellation along her rib

except the stars were small hearts

symbolizing the holiday that she could call

her day.

"i'll buy chocolate and roses, for valentines. . .

and then all the rest, for your birthday." i had spoke

we had been watching this really dumb rom-com,

but she liked romantic comedies.

maybe i'd start liking them too.

she could only smile, and nod

because she wouldn't admit it

but she enjoyed the thought of being spoiled

of getting attention

of being someone's entire day

little had she known,

she had been my entire day since

she'd been my entire night.
