My Valentine Always

My Valentine Always 

A burning love forms in my heart: 
Longing for your touch; 
To feel your love, but we are a part? 

Your hair smelled of a lavender scent; 
Essences she used when she bathed. 
I'll always treasure you in my heart, my valentine!

Your radiance emanates: 
When you step into a room! 
Your beautiful, tuned voice; 
Filled my mind with you, my valentine 

I used to lay awake after you've, 
Fallen asleep, 
And gaze at your radiance. 

I ask myself at times; 
What did I ever do to deserve a woman like you? 
Because I would do it again. 

You've drawn so much more than love out of me. 
You bring radiance, and elegance like flowers! 
You bring me to; life, my valentine. 

And, I love you so much, Shannon! R.I.P.

As long as my heart still has a beat, I continue to still vow my love to my late wife. Best of Wishes, William William Darnell Sr Date: 2/14/2022 10:25:00 PM Awe, you brought up a tear of joy that rolled down my cheek. Thank you, Sary, for believing in love, which most people seek, longing for it. Unfortunately, I had only but a chance to breathe it in from my late wife, and her presence in my life emanated, embedded into my soul. And I can only say; thank you for your presence in showing up on Valentine. Everything happens for a reason, and perhaps you were used as a messenger in my life. Happy Valentine. Best of Wishes, William
