Is It Love or Business?

 Is It Love or Business?

Youngsters are waiting, waiting to propose.

The rose sellers are waiting, waiting for people to buy some roses.

The card sellers are waiting, waiting for people to pick some cards.
The jewellery shops are waiting, waiting for people to pick heart designs.

The media is bombarded, bombarded with offers for Valentine's Day.
The shops are decorated in pink to attract some walk-ins.
The restaurants are getting prepared, prepared for couples to dine.
The gift shops are flooded, flooded with goodies to be sold.

Some youngsters are rehearsing, rehearsing how to propose.
Some youngsters are keeping their fingers crossed about whom to propose to.
Those who are in love are waiting, waiting to meet each other.
The newlyweds are waiting, waiting for a reason to dine out.

Is Valentine's Day a lover's day, or a day to promote business?
Is Valentine's Day indeed a lover's day, or a day to propose?
Is Valentine's Day truly a lover's day, or a day to add expenses to life?

The essence of true love is not spending money —
It is spending time with each other.
We don't require a special day to spend time together
When we truly love each other.
