Eros' Gift

Eros' Gift

I heard them knocking on my door,
"welcome to my home young love.
It's been a while since I've seen you,
Eros, how have you been my friend?"

"Busy as always this time of year,
where hearts flutter in the wind."
"You have yet to introduce me,
to your friend who holds my heart."

"Well my friend, she is your angel,
she is here to bring love in your life.
This year will hold joys for you,
Starting from day 1, you will see."

"She is beautiful, I feel so happy,
why not arrows this time Eros?"
"These arrows are of lust not love,
It will never last like you two will."

"This is my valentine's present to you,
you deserve happiness from now on.
She will open your eyes and make you smile,
So keep her dear to your heart always"

"Eros, I don't know what to say,
such a precious gift and nothing I can give."
"Just give her your heart and I'll be fine,
She is your angel, to keep forever"

In a flash he had disappeared,
but he did not leave me alone.
She was still standing there,
just as he said, waiting.

From then on I knew it was true,
there was something about her.
I felt so different, so unchanged,
I can't explain any of it.

This time my heart belongs,
to the gift from the Gods.
I won't be alone this time,
not this Valentine's Day.
