Valentine

Once I was your Valentine
and you showered me with love
You gave me all I needed,
stars and moon from up above

You would hold me tightly
and kiss my fears away
Our love was all that mattered,
but that was yesterday

Now my heart is empty
you left without a word
Maybe you tried to tell me
but I think I would have heard

How do I recover,
and overcome this loss
When you were all I wanted
and on my heart embossed

I take the feelings left behind,
still deeply here contained
And pull them out and look at them
Like a picture that is framed

Would you come back, if you could
to be my valentine
And cherish all that we once had
Together for all time
