Sweet comic valentine
Describing the person as a charming and amusing valentine.
You make me smile with my heart
Highlighting the impact the valentine has on the speaker, evoking genuine joy and warmth.
Your looks are laughable
Commenting on the unconventional attractiveness of the person, suggesting a unique and captivating appeal.
Unphotographable
Suggesting that the person's charm is difficult to capture in a photograph, emphasizing their extraordinary qualities.
Yet you're my favorite work of art
Despite unconventional looks, affirming that the person is the speaker's favorite and seen as a masterpiece.
Is your figure less than Greek
Asking if the person's physique is not classically perfect, questioning conventional standards of beauty.
Is your mouth a little weak
Wondering if the person's speech is not assertive, addressing a potential vulnerability.
When you open it to speak
Asking about the person's communication style, exploring the depth of their character.
Are you smart?
Pondering the intelligence of the valentine, seeking to understand their intellectual qualities.
But don't change a hair for me
Encouraging the person not to change any aspect of themselves for the speaker's sake, expressing acceptance and love.
Not if you care for me
Emphasizing that the person's unchanged self is a demonstration of their care for the speaker.
Stay little valentine stay
Urging the valentine to remain as they are, expressing a desire for constancy in the relationship.
Each day is valentines day
Declaring that every day with the valentine feels like Valentine's Day, suggesting a perpetual sense of love and celebration.
Is your figure less than Greek
Repeating the inquiry about the person's physique, reinforcing the idea that conventional beauty standards are not essential.
Is your mouth a little weak
Reiterating the question about the strength of the person's speech, probing into their emotional expression.
When you open it to speak
Recalling the question about the valentine's communication style, exploring the nuances of their personality.
Are you smart?
Asking again about the intelligence of the valentine, seeking to understand their multifaceted nature.
But don't you change one hair for me
Repeating the sentiment of accepting the person as they are, emphasizing the value of authenticity in the relationship.
Not if you care for me
Reaffirming that an unchanged self is a demonstration of genuine care and love from the valentine.
Stay little valentine stay
