Notes About The Poem

My Valentine

My Valentine

It comes from out of nowhere
like lightening from the skies.
I can almost hear your laughter,
I can almost see your eyes.

My body starts to tremble
from my head down to my feet.
My minds it starts to race
and my heart skips a beat.

I start to perspire
where no one else can see.
Then I get this feeling 
somethings missing inside me.

My palms they both start sweating
I'm filled with fearful hope.
I start to discombobulate
I'm not sure I can cope.

I called the doctor on the phone
he said I'll be just fine.
He wrote me a prescription
for you to be my Valentine.

Cause each time that it happens
that I start to fall apart.
My thoughts on you, I know it's true
I've got you on my heart.
