February 14, 1995 - Doylestown, PA

While devouring cannolis with mini chocolate chips,
you surprised me.
I opened your package
and floated through this day
on an enchanting serenade.
Tufts of pink and white tissue paper
camouflaged the dress mere seconds
before I lifted it from the box.
Short hemline, sassy gathered bust,
the color as vivid as a bag of red hots.
Clingy, spirited, and bodacious,
with an oh so sinful teardrop cut-out in the back.
The red heels and jewelry were simple
compared to Cafe Arielle.
The air was crispy,
though I didn't wear a coat.
You'd dressed me as your Valentine,
and I wanted everyone to know.
