Happy Valentines Day, Steemians. Here is a little haiku emotional support for those whose hearts may not be at their best on this day of rub-it-in-much. Remember no matter what your heart has gone through, it remains beautiful and soon will be an antique, and those things are worth more. Enjoy:)

For those really in the know, you know, I committed a haiku faux-pas with the internal rhyme in line two. But I like it, so there. But for the purest, it could have simply read ...

Happy Valentine's Day!
