Who wants a lover this Valentine’s Day?
Who wants a meaningless fling?
Who wants a romance with no consequences,
No major commitments, just minor offenses,
No number, no text, and no ring?
Who wants a lover this fourteenth of Feb?
Who wants a roll in the hay?
Who wants next morning to say that was fun,
A meeting that’s over before it’s begun,
With little occasion to stay?
Who wants a lover this Valentine’s Day?
Who wants a chance to say no?
To schmaltzy hand-holding and sweet hesitation,
To code words and cuddling and close conversation—
You can come, as long as you go.

Nowadays we often expect one person to be all things to us … no one can fulfill all of our desires and meet every demand, nor should they try!
