"A Lonely Valentine"

There's a season each year that stir's the heart

It's majestic for lovers, but devastating for the lonely

It can bring a bond of closeness no one can break

When you spend it together with your one and only

But when your alone it causes such deep emotion

Your memoires clinging to the remnants of lost devotion

May this day be shared with someone you love

For it hurts from inside you when no one is there

You dream of yesterdays, when a touch meant so much

And a card from your lover, showed how much they care

Then flowers are given to brighten the eyes

of such a beautiful face

This feeling of love is forever, as you remember,

but can never erase

A special dinner for two, soars an evening to its peak

Remembering wine and candles and how your knees became weak

Soft music is playing as you embrace in a dance

Gazing into eyes that will always hold you in a special trance

Then time shared alone, in the arms of your loving

sweetheart, its been a memorable date

My heart clings to all this, hoping, crying out saying,

it will never be over, its never to late

Only wanting to be loved, wishing again l could say to you

just one time "Will you Be Mine"

But knowing for now, there is no "Love of my Life"

and l'm without a sweetheart, a special "Valentine".
