My Saint Valentine

IT'S THAT LOOK IN YOUR EYE.

IT'S THE SMILE ON YOUR FACE

THAT MAKES TIME SLIP BY,

AND I KNOW I'M IN A BETTER SPACE

IT'S THE MEMORIES OF YOU I HAVE

THAT MAKE ANY DARK SKY TURN BLUE

IT LETS ME KNOW THESE FEELINGS I HAVE

ARE REAL, NOT FANTISIZED.

GETTING LOST IN MY THOUGHTS

WITH THE MERE IMAGE OF YOU.

IT'S HARD TO IMAGINE ANY

FUTURE WITHOUT YOU.

SO I LEAVE MY ARMS OPEN,

AND I'LL WISH AND PRAY,

EYES FOCUSED AND HOPING

THAT YOU'LL LET ME IN AND BE VULNERABLE.

MY HEART I PREPARE,

AS I WISH AND PRAY,

EYES FOCUSED AND HOPING

THAT YOU’LL LET ME COMPLETELY INTO YOUR HEART.
