Impromptu Valentine

I had no plan to fall in love with you,
still you won me without pretense or art
when you walked into my life impromptu.

Just the real you with no retinue
of fakers saying lines and acting parts;
I had no plan to fall in love with you.

There you came with no gain to pursue,
no pretensions. You exposed your heart
when you walked into my life impromptu.

You swept away the ugly residue
others left behind. Oh, this broken heart!
I had no plan to fall in love with you.

Strange as it may seem to those who view,
this crazy love we share had its start
when you walked into my life impromptu.

Tomorrows will keep coming as they do
and you and I will always be sweethearts;
I had no plan to fall in love with you
when you walked into my life impromptu.
