My Forever Valentine

Yes, I know that special day has come and gone 

but I was thinking... 

How many fewer kisses can she use today? 

You know my wild imagination. 

See, I pictured you on your way home from your job, 

but I couldn't envision you any less glad to leave 

when the clock struck 5(PM) as opposed to yesterday. 

And it never dawned on me that your feet 

were any less tired and dying to get out of those heels 

than they might have been the day before. 

Oh yes, I know I'm running the risk of spoiling you  

but I was thinking... 

Do I really need someone else telling me which days are 

the best days to make my baby feel appreciated? 

And hey, didn't you confide in me 

things, when I was getting to know you, that 

would give anybody the impression that 

being let down when your hopes get high is the norm?  

I may have been the bad boy once, the rebel... 

and it's still true I don't follow, fall in line or conform 

very well, but it's this very part of me that loves truest 

and untamed. 

Yes, I know you don't expect special treatment every day 

this way but I was thinking... 

How tall a task is it really for a man to give a woman everything 

she gives him in return? 

And now that I think about it, it's a tall task indeed because 

I could never repay you for making me feel like the luckiest 

man in the world. All men, it's known, are a work in progress 

but there you were standing and waiting for the best of me 

when others walked away, telling me you're here to stay 

and shining like the sun in the darkness I called home. 

So yes, I'll gladly do the work. And no, I don't need any special 

days to outdo the neighbors when my fight is with every bad 

memory in your past, every scar that needs healing in your heart... 

See, I was just thinking... 

Someday, we'll wake up from this dream and find each other 

and you'll be my Forever Valentine.
