I Hope For Sweets This Valentine's Day

My dear can we somehow meet in the middle
Our eyes say yes, and our hearts say yes
Yet the river of life is rapidly going by
With no waterfall in sight
It would be nice if we could stream as one
In that golden pond under sunny skies
Us, two swans swimming in harmony
In the past, we were like two playful ducks
That duck, fight and quack
For that last morsel of food on the ground
It's like we enjoy needling each other
Can the weather change for the better
Between us and especially between our hangups
I see that Valentine's is right behind the corner
There could be a cupid's arrow between us
We'll never know if Jack and Jill went up the hill
Can you please answer my call
And be my Valentine once and for all

I like how you used the resemblance of both you and the person to which the letter is for. I enjoyed reading your Valentine Card. Congratulations on your win in Bobby's contest. Have a blessed day my friend
