Cupid, Pulls Back the Bow

I went in          search of a
                             Valentine, that    could tell her how
                            I wanted her to be only mine.  There 
                           were only a few that came close to my
                          need, for one so perfect, for love indeed.
                          As moments pass and quickly goes time,
                           I had still not found a fitting Valentine.
                             Then came to me another thought, 
                                perhaps a card was needed not.  
                                 So I sat down and jotted some 
                                  lines, that I could use for my
                                   Valentine.  My words were 
                                     poor and the effort tart,
                                       to tell this Beauty all 
                                        in my heart.  Cupid
                                          must have been 
                                           near that day,
                                              his arrow 
                                                hit its 
                                                 mark
                                                  you
                                                  see
                        FOR FROM THAT DAY, SHE STAYED WITH ME.
