Valentine

My valentine left me,
Funny that she would leave me at this time is it not?
For the day of love and romance, she chooses to depart and burn our
bridge.
I seek not a replacement, just a friend, a loving friend.
I want you, my friend, my new love.
You know me, you see me for who I am,
I don't need to pretend with you, you see all I have.
Take my heart, I give it willingly.

I want not the harm it can do to me. You deserve my heart more than
I.
I have ruined my chance of loving again when she left me.
It was my fault.
I did not give her enough, enough of anything,
But you say love is more than materials, it is spiritual in a
sense,
Don't we have that? We are the best of friends,
Do you not want that between us? Will we never have that?

Give me but one chance and as crowded house have sung, we can catch the
deluge in a paper cup.
Our torrent of love, of friendship,
I shall not leave you, yet you may leave me.
I think no less of you if you did, I understand you.
