I was scheduled for rounds on Valentine's Day. I made sure the boy who I was rounding with knew that it was Valentine's Day and that I expected flowers and chocolates. He then suggested we have candlelit rounds. We even got it approved by the Resident Manager.
I decided that I couldn't expect all that from him if I wasn't willing to do something as well. I wrote him this poem and regifted a box of chocolates a fifth grader had given me.
Dustin oh Dustin
You are so incredibly kind.
I cannot imagine
A more perfect Valentine.
When I saw that we were scheduled
My heart skipped a beat.
An evening spent with Dustin
Is always such a treat.
A romantic moonlit stroll
As we round past every door.
Great conversation and some laughs--
I could not ask for more.
We reach a door and you pause
Just two hims and not a her.
I'm always so impressed.
You are such a great listener.
We are forced to stay up late,
But I see each minute a treasure.
Any time spent with you
Is always my pleasure.
I sometimes pray we have a problem
So we have no other resort
Than to spend ten more minutes together
Filling out an incident report.
Dustin, oh, Dustin
I hope that you'll be mine
As we round the dorms together
On this day of Valentine.
He loved the poem.
Alas, he showed up empty handed. Men.
