Valentine

I did not have time

to get you

what I wanted

just a heart on a string

ready to float away

a card with flagrant words

someone else wrote

someone else understood

no jewelry needed

no fragrances to lift you

no roses required

only an inscription to sift through

in the silence of our eyes

"I'm in love with you..."

we'll have the years and today

to discover

why

My Valentine...
