Valentines Day is Hallmark's way to sell LOTS of greeting cards....
It may not be a Dick Clark holiday, but its totally commercialized.

you took my advice.....sweet!
Whenever death may surprise us,
let it be welcome
if our battle cry has reached even one receptive ear
and another hand reaches out to take up our arms.
Nobody's gonna miss me, no tears will fall, no ones gonna weap, when i hit that road.
my boots are broken my brain is sore, fer keepin' up with thier little world, i got a heavy load.
gonna leave 'em all just like before, i'm big city bound, your always 17 in your hometown

You see, the roman emperor Cladius wanted to go to war. So he wanted a kick ass huge army. But all the married men would rather stay home with their wives then go out and get killed. So to counter this, Cladius banned marriage.
St. Valentine was a priest who helped marry people in secret. When he finally got caught and sentanced to death, he spent a lot of time before his execution with the jailers daughter. On the last day of his life he left her a note that ended with the phrase "from your Valentine" which is why we use the "be my valentine" expression. They killed him on Feb 14.
So, really, it's not a hallmark holiday at all.

Only YOU would actually take the time to tell me that
