Hoping For Love

When I was young I used to dream Of a Valentine's message In the school magazine. Every year I lived in hope But did i ever get one? Nope :( Declarations of love For the pretty girls, But none for Miss Freckle With the mad ginger curls. I didn't like the way I looked, I didn't like my height. I tried to hide myself away I tried to dim my light. But love can change the way you think, The way you see yourself. No more sitting in the corner, No more left upon the shelf. Love will make you stand up tall, Look the world straight in the eye. You can take on all life's challenges With that person by your side. So here's to all young dreamers Who received no cards today Don't worry, it will happen, And I love you, anyway. February 14th 2020
