Happy Valentine’s…

This is a true story that happened to me during my wonder years......it was my junior college days and there was this cute dame, who was as cute as she could be.....i was delighted, thrilled, and enthralled as the Valentine's day was fast approaching. But something special happened on that day, which changed my life forever........this is what happened:

Happy Valentine’s…

What an awful fall it was
Don’t ask me when and how
The day I fell for that stupid bait
The day I fell in love

I was standing by the college wall
With a faithful friend of mine
I waited for the perfect girl
Who would be my Valentine

Oh! that smile that made me fall-
To never rise up again
Oh that eyes that injured my heart-
I still remember that pain

She walked into my class that day
And straight into my heart
She smiled at me. No big deal
But I knew that was a start

She walked across the lawn that day
With a beautiful rose in hand
Perplexed, anxious, and confused- I stood
But my knees wouldn’t help me stand

I was standing on the other side
And she was walking across to me
Our eyes – they met and my heart- it leapt
With joy and with endless glee

I remember the day- that awesome day
It was the Valentine’s
She came to me and she gave the rose
To the ‘faithful’ friend of mine!

I didn’t cry. No, I didn’t laugh
But managed to flash a smile
I did brood and I was sad
But that was just for a while

She came to me- hand-in-hand
With the ‘faithful’ friend of mine
I beamed with joy and wished them both
A happy Valentine’s!

I no longer stand by the college wall
In search of a Valentine
Someone, Somewhere…….is waiting for me
Who will be mine………just MINE!

Heartbreakingly yours,
