Sweet Darling

Sweet Darling, all I think about is you.
When I’m alone, I daydream and I pine.
To be your Valentine, what must I do?

You’ve caught me gazing at your eyes of blue,
your locks of golden hair, and smile so fine.
Sweet darling, all I think about is you.

We’re friends, but don’t you have by now a clue
that I adore you? (that’s not just a line!)
To be your Valentine, what must I do?

You need to know my love for you is true.
Were I the sun, for you alone I’d shine.
Sweet Darling, all I think about is you.

I want you, and I think you want me too.
Yet nothing happens! Please give me a sign.
To be your Valentine, what must I do?

Just make your move, and see what can ensue.
I guarantee that it will be divine.
Sweet Darling, all I think about is you.
To be your Valentine, what must I do?

Ah--chemistry. I played with a chemistry set when I was young, but it didn't bring me love. We know that pining (lust) is such a strong force in this universe. A sentiment not lost on Madison Avenue. You are very kind, and this poem is such a reflection on what so many people feel at one time or another.

your words soften my heart like a damsel in need of a companion..... Your lines are sweeteners to a curious mind which is absolutely satisfied. There's this eagerness I have running to your pages and your reputation of meeting that expectation is beyond any form of appreciation or grading. Beyond 7 my friend!!
