Again he appears,
With his arrogant smile
And bronze bow
He promises happiness
And another to share it with
Do I trust him, no
For years and years before
He promised the same
And all hope was forgotten
Years later, I'm am still alone
On this darned day
I cannot call a good one
For I am not as lucky as the others
And their companions on their sides

Love does not always come out of this holiday, but if it does, you should always be grateful.
