On That Day?

February 14th
that special day
must i say i love you
in that special way?
nay
my witnesses undoubtedly declair
that there must be something there
such as the sun
who says i cast a shadow over you
and the moon who says
my love must be true
and each and every falling star
whom i've wished upon
my love where ever you are
the rose who's splinder
giveth it self to thee from me
and the chocolates in a
heart shaped box
saying "i do not love you little, 
but a lot."

and February 14th
that special day
must i say i love you 
in that special way? 
"nay"
but 365 days of the year
you should hear 
"I love you"
whispered in your ear
52 times, once for each week
my lips should touch you 
on the cheek
7 days, seven days a week
i'm humbled and i am weak
24 hours of each and every day
my love is your love
not just holidays

Hi, John, you should convert this into a song lyric. It has the feel of a great 60's soul ballad. Thank you for your kind words. My wife loves you and the mention of your name. I'm in some trouble here, as I have to outdo your kind critique. Regards, Gerard.
