Our OWN cliche

Forget the expensive chocolates and champagne,
And the dozen half wilted red roses.
As long as I can somehow have you forever,
Cheap whiskey and strings of daisy chains
Will be more than enough for me.

Forget the 'atmospherically lit' fancy restaurant ,
With its long and unpronounceable menu.
Just a simple moment shared with you
Fish and chips by candlelight (because the power is out)
Is perhaps silly, but in my eyes  just as romantic.

Forget the gold and diamond encrusted monstrosities,
Dismiss talk of carats and such gaudiness.
Expensive won't make me love you somehow more,
Than if you chose to - on bended knee, propose;
With a plastic ring found inside a lucky bag.

Forget the conventional cliché
Lets make our own.
