My Valentine

I remember so well when we first met,
You didn’t much like me then for what I had said,
I just smiled and said you don’t know me yet.
And then I apologized for calling you Red.

Both of us were so young and so immature,
But in my heart I knew our love would grow, it would endure.
The first time I looked deep into your eyes,
I felt something surging in my stomach like a hundred thousand butterflies.

To me there was no doubt that you were that special one,
You had stole my heart, my love you had won!
I just want to thank you for all those joyous years you’ve given me,
And my Special Valentine, you’ll always be!
                            Happy Valentines Day!! 
                                XOXOXOXOXOXOX
