A Poem, You Are My Valentine

I know without a doubt I don't tell you nearly enough

That without you I'd still be living in the past

And still be talking that old sob stuff

My day's of loneliness, my day's of despair

My daily feelings

Of, " I don't care

About tomorrow or whatever may be

Won't fill this void

His hurt left in me"

You only smiled when I said, " I will never love again "

You stayed around

My dear sweet friend

Then one day I miraculously found I wasn't crying so much

I actually enjoyed

The feeling of your gentle touch

You were so kind, You were so sweet

But still I was careful

I stood firm on my feet

Slowly I began to forget the deceit

I'd known in the past

You never gave up assuring me it was a memory that wouldn't last

You said, " Let it go, it's long past. "

Then one day when I saw you drive into my driveway

I felt a flutter

And a little risque'

I've learned you have a heart of pure gold

Someone whose arms hold me

And keep me in a protective fold

Dare I say, " I love you? It's gonna take me awhile

But in between time

I can't get rid of this continuous smile.

Happy Valentine Day Thomas.
