Valentine’s Day—it’s that time of the year again. Love is in the air, roses are overpriced, and chocolate mysteriously disappears from shelves faster than my motivation to work out. But hold on, before you roll your eyes at all the mushy romance, let’s talk about something even better—friendship.
Yep, that’s right! Who says Valentine’s Day is only for couples drowning in heart-shaped confetti? Pfft. This day is also for the real MVPs—the friends who stick around through bad decisions, ugly cry sessions, and questionable fashion choices from our past (let’s not talk about 2012).
So, whether you’re single, taken, or “it’s complicated” with your Netflix subscription, let’s celebrate the people who always have our backs—our friends! And what better way to do that than with some funny, heartfelt, and totally non-cringy Valentine’s Day poems? Okay, maybe a little cringy. But hey, that’s part of the charm.
So, grab a cup of coffee (or ice cream, I won’t judge), and let’s write some friendship-filled Valentine’s Day magic! 🎉

Violets are blue,
I’d make a bad decision,
And blame it on you.

A love not borrowed, lost, or taken.

It’s for the ones who laugh like this.

Last Words
We laughed, we (maybe) teared up a little, and hopefully, we found the perfect poem to send to our ride-or-die besties. Because honestly, friends deserve just as much love as anyone else on Valentine’s Day—maybe even more. (Let’s be real, they put up with all our nonsense year-round. That deserves a trophy, or at least a pizza.)
So, make sure to remind your friends they matter. Because at the end of the day, love isn’t only romance—it’s every inside joke, every shoulder to lean on, and every time someone says, “I got you.”
Now, go forth and spread some bestie love! 💖 Oh, and if you happen to receive chocolates today… don’t forget to share. (Okay fine, maybe just one piece.) 🍫😉 Happy Valentine’s Day, you awesome human! 🎉💌
