The Reclamation of Valentine's Day: Part 3

So. Acknowledging that Valentinian festivities are an ever-evolving amalgam of tradition and objective, here's my thought:
Let's use the day to celebrate the things we love.

Like Secret Gardens on Sunny Days,
And the sound of poliphony bouncing off the marble and wood of a church.
Like philosophy, and wit.
Like songs that make you hear stars and look to the heavens.
Like well-timed solitude,
and 99 red balloons (preferably sung, loud, with many friends).
Like things of beauty; joys forever,
and tulle, in any way, shape, or form.
Like frolicking in green fields,
or lounging in green glory.
Like MUSIC,
and carnival tricks.
Like happy accidents,
and letting your hair down.


What do you love?
