Valentine

by Peter Williams   Jan 9, 2006


Did I hear you call my name?
When was it my mistake?
Fireworks fly,
As my heart begins to sink.
Take my hand,
For it's still warm.
We had our fun,
We had our laughs,
Before the sun...
Went into the sea,
It was just you and me.
All the love stories have been told,
The world around us begins to unfold.
I feel like I can't stop it from happening,
But if I could...
Would I want to?
I still can't believe that this is true.
Is friendship worth risking?
I'm tired of these "what-if's?" that shape my life,
For once I want to see.
My heart is locked up and I have lost the key.
Life's too short to watch it go by,
Too short to wonder "why?"
Maybe I shouldn't think such things,
Maybe I should let laying dogs lie.
But my emotions are something that I can't deny.
I had my smile,
I had my charm,
Once in a while...
I thought I was alone,
But then you showed up on my phone.
My heart skipped a beat,
For a moment I felt complete.
Should I tell you?
Or should I let it go?
Be my heart friend or foe?
I trust it once,
And then again,
Such are the best-laid plans of mice and men.
My heart is a weakness not a strength,
Someone please give me a sign.
I guess I'll be seeing you...
My Valentine.
