1. Gifts from Afar...!
Sending you... on Valentine's Day...
A rose... and sweet candies...
A heart... that I give completely
Sent to you... across the distance...!
Chocolate... rich and deep...
And a bright red flower
Like the warm blood flowing
From my heart to yours...!
I only give this to you
A flower full of thorns
Like the struggles I've endured...
Which I've overcome...!
A bar of chocolate
Sweet yet still bitter
Like the deep love I have
To be entirely given to you...!
On this Valentine’s Day
Sent to you... through Facebook
Across the two far ends...
Sending fragrant memories...!!
Poem by: Thùy Dương


2. I'll Wait Until Tomorrow
This Valentine’s season, we are apart
The grass and trees seem more sorrowful, the sun grows dim,
My soul wilts along with the fading sunlight
I long for you and wish the days would hurry by.
I hope that next year on this day
We will be together again, reunited,
So that Valentine’s Day won’t feel so lonely
And I’ll wait for this happiness until tomorrow.

3. This Year’s Valentine
On every Valentine’s Day
You say you love me, you miss me,
But this year’s Valentine came around,
And you pretend to have forgotten.
I gently ask you, softly,
Have you forgotten, my love?
You forgot to buy a gift,
Forgot the sweet whispers.
You whisper back to me,
How could I forget, my dear?
I am still wonderful,
And I’ll give you everything.
More meaningful than a wish,
Sweeter than a flower,
More valuable than a gift,
Is a heart full of love,
For I love you more than anything.

4. The Valentine I Wish For
This Valentine’s Day, I wish I could be by your side
I want to walk with you on every journey
I want to take you wherever you like
I want to hear your laughter on this special day.
But due to work, I’m far away
And I can’t make it home, but don’t be sad, my love!
Smile, be happy, my dear
I’ll be back soon, just wait for me.

5. Unrequited Love
Valentine’s Day is almost here, let’s make plans together
So loneliness doesn’t come knocking at my door
So that tomorrow, when the sun shines through the window
I won’t be waiting for a shadow of you, all alone.
Valentine’s Day is near, don’t stay silent
Let me not face the silence of loneliness alone
Alone, I stand at every crossroads
I need you, I need a shoulder to lean on.

6. To the One I Love
Chocolate I send from afar
Filled with my love wrapped in this gift box
I send with it countless feelings of longing
Sending my love instead of a thousand flowers.
This chocolate is my love sent from afar
To warm your heart when you feel sad
Though we are separated by distance
Remember, even miles apart, my love for you is unwavering.

7. A Lonely Valentine
This Valentine, I am without you
The dark chocolate has turned bitter
Wondering why the song can no longer be sung
Forgotten, my heart is shattered.
Is it fate's cruel hand
That because I'm poor, you turned away
So it's over, everything's gone
In your coldness, I'll perish, my love.

8. A Lonely Valentine
Though deeply sad, I must remain silent
Watching others celebrate in their happiness
But now we're apart, how can I obtain
The affection we once shared?
This Valentine, I still feel pain
The bouquet still hangs on the wall, unnoticed
The chocolate lies still, unable to be
Delivered to the one I long for this Valentine’s Day
Though surrounded by many, I still feel alone
Alone in my room, quietly, silently
The days pass by, still lonely
In the quiet of my room, I wait in solitude.

9. Remembering the Old Valentine
This Valentine we are forever apart
The Valentine of last year fades into memory
The fresh bouquet you received last year
You joyfully pressed it into the pages of a poem
Now, on this Valentine’s Day, I sadly open it
All the memories flood back in a moment
The dried petals, faded and blurred by tears
This sad Valentine, you’ll never understand.

10. Valentine
Spring arrives with flowers blooming bright
People bustle and hurry to welcome the season
But here I am, walking alone with hurried steps
Feeling sadness in my eyes on this spring of love
The road ahead is long, full of wild days
This Valentine holds back a tear of sorrow
The love is still there, but the person is nowhere to be found
Sending you memories of the days gone by
How could you forget the love we shared?
The sweet scent of love faded, but why?
The passion of yesterday now just a pale memory
Goodbye, farewell... to this shattered season of love.

11. Happy Valentine's Day
The Valentine's Day is coming soon
Wishing you endless happiness, my friend!
May your love grow more beautiful with time
And may you be happy together for life.
For those who haven't found love yet
May you find your soulmate and be filled with joy
Hand in hand, full of happiness
Walking together through the journey of love.
For those who are in love right now
May you grow even more beautiful, like a blooming flower
May your partner be charming and full of character
May you walk hand in hand to your love-filled heaven.
For everyone who loves
May love always flow endlessly
May you enjoy every moment of happiness
And stay together forever, sweet and joyful.

12. A Spontaneous Valentine
Is it the Valentine's Day that makes your cheeks blush?
The joy of giving gifts, wrapped in laughter, swept by the wind
The scent of rivers and grass, gentle and soft
Is it the season's first bloom?
It smells sweet on your lips, a smile so bright
The grass turns greener with love, fresh and new
Love, like a gentle poison, brings a fresh thrill
You walk through the streets with spring in the air
February brings the cold, but also warmth
A tiny rose in your hand
Who is it for, my dear?
I wish that rose were for me
That you would bring it as a gift for me
To wake the young, fresh days
And let the spring sing sweetly on the branches.


13. Valentine
Spring arrives with flowers in full bloom
People bustle with excitement, welcoming the season
Alone, I walk with golden scents in the air
Sadness fills my eyes as love stirs in the spring
The road ahead is long, days of wild dreams
Valentine feels one-sided
Love is full, yet where do I find it?
The months pass, leaving only memories
How could such love be forgotten?
The fragrance of love, so intense, but why?
Old passions fade with time
Goodbye, my love... broken pieces of affection!


14. Valentine’s Love Song
The mark of Valentine has returned
I send you words filled with passion
Happiness is when hearts open together
Receiving love even from afar
Roses and chocolates, both symbols of affection
We share only the warmest, sweetest words
Soft whispers that make the heart come alive
Happiness grows deeper, rich in scent and color
On this Valentine’s Day, we are in separate places
But in between, are words of longing and love
Do not let the heart grow cold
Even though we’re apart, your breath is still near
The verses I wrote early this morning
Carry the message of this special time
This is the dance of love, my dear
Let’s share this Valentine, filled with love and longing.


15. A Sad Valentine's Day
On this Valentine's Day in the springtime
The sun shines brightly, but suddenly it rains
The roses close their petals, the chocolate melts
Couples sigh, waiting for the spring sun to shine again
The challenge of love in this season of change
Distance makes love feel both far and near
We kindle the fire of affection in quiet moments
With rosy lips and bright eyes, calling for the love of spring
Yearning for the gift of a rose, a token of love
The sweet taste of chocolate on a rosy cheek
You wait by the window, eyes longing
I walk silently, lost in my own wishes...

16. Valentine's Without You
Valentine's Day is here again, isn't it?
The first days of spring, flowers bloom bright
Like the bond we once shared so perfectly
Though miles apart, love still keeps us close
I promised you on that special Valentine's Day
To be with you in Hanoi, to make you smile
To put away the waiting, the longing
We both waited for this love, a feeling we couldn't ignore
Then we had our moments of tenderness
With passionate love, a bond so strong
Though fate didn't call us together completely
We still spoke of our love, of what could be
But little did I know, promises would fade
And the pain would come unexpectedly
Leaving me with apologies, dear
The more I thought, the heavier my heart
When I arrived in Saigon, burdened with pain
During the New Year's season, I felt lost
I couldn't ease my fears, my loneliness
But I knew you understood, my dear
In my effort to stay strong, I felt renewed
With you by my side, my heart felt warm
But the pain wouldn't leave, it lingered
All I wanted was for us to share this love
Even though this Valentine's may not be perfect
But I beg you, my love, don’t be angry with me!

17. Who Should Be Blamed for the Neglect?
It's another Valentine's Day
Young men and women are near, yet gifts are far away...
And there are those whose hearts are absent
Leaving her in sorrow, while others don't care.
The poet reflects on the scene...
Sharing a fate of disappointment, feeling isolated
Spring arrives, days grow long
Yet love remains elusive, leaving the burden on one.

18. February 14th
I wish I could say 'I love you' a thousand times
Though I know a thousand words aren't enough
For the love I hold in my heart for you
More than a thousand messages sent your way.
You and I have become so familiar
Do you know just how much I love you?
But love isn't always a constant bloom
And so, you carry the weight of sadness and worry.
Though I know after each letter I send
My love for you stays as bright as red roses
It sails on like a sailboat in the wind
But you fear it may never reach the shore.
So I give you these thousand verses
And my love, written on each page
I just hope you won’t be sad or worried
But instead, trust — trust in a dream...
I’ve loved you from the start
Always longing for the moment we meet
As time passes, my love grows deeper
It will never break, my dear.
My love for you is as constant as the waves
Loyal, a thousand times in my heart’s memory
Though life may throw us many obstacles
My heart still longs for you, waiting with hope.
I wish I could say 'I will love you forever'
And I hope a thousand times that you will understand
I can never live without you
Your presence beside me each morning and night.
Do you know, my dear, that I hold you dear?
Believe in me, trust in your life, my love
Trust in love, as it will always be smooth
Never will it be lonely, my dear.
Rejoice in every peaceful morning
And every evening when the wind knocks on the door
The lake will shimmer even more
Because with you, the moonlight dances on the water...

19. That Valentine’s Day
I remember just the other day, it was Valentine's Day
The evening sun was fading, its warmth softening
Love was exchanged through our gazes
We walked together, counting each step…
A shared glass of water, we both drank to the last drop
The far path felt so near
Lost in our conversation, we missed the boat
That was the Valentine’s Day we let slip away...
Do you feel those lingering thoughts, my love?
We loved so much, yet couldn’t be close
Our hearts split, and sadness filled our eyes
Now, the path we once walked is no more...
Though we are miles apart, my love never fades
Awake through many nights, longing to be near
The boat missed its ride, and so did our first love
But I still wait for you, my dearest one.

20. Season of Lovers
My love for you shines like a sparkling gem
You, the light that walks beside me
The taste of love is sweet, deep, and true
We understand each other, filled with joy and happiness.
The sunlight never fades, much like our enduring love
Our love is pure, like crystal clear glass
We withstand storms, remaining intact and whole
Our love is unbroken, deeply etched into our hearts.
I am like the vast ocean, endless and boundless
You are like the waves, immersed in love’s embrace
Time passes, yet our love remains steadfast
Longing for each other, like waves that never cease.
Valentine’s Day has arrived
The roses bloom red, their fragrance filling the air
Our love is a beautiful painting, vibrant and colorful
Deep, boundless, and overflowing with joy and happiness.
