Poetry: Be my Valentine

by J Meckes

I looked and searched for a different way
to say I love you on Valentine's Day.
Not with the usual poem with a rhyme
saying I'm yours till the end of time.

And not just a rose that wilts at day's end
or a card with dog-eared edges that bend.
But a special way to make you know
how much I need and love you so.

So I looked everywhere but I couldn't find
anything special for you Valentine.
Except one thing you've heard and know
that the words really live in the love that we show.

So these words are special and you know they're true
when I say the words from me to you. . . . I love you!
