Valentine

I know I miss out totally
I should have done better
I should have put my love for 
you more than just words

I know you expect a bouquet 
today
I know you expect me to book 
a candlelit dinner
I know you wanted me to 
shower you with a valentine's 
gift

I didn't get you a stalk of rose
I didn't have a simple dinner 
with you
I didn't even buy you a box of 
chocolate

but I want to give you this 
surprise
I wanted you to expect the 
better of me.
I want you to have your own 
valentine's day
April 8th in the calendar that is 
your Valentine's day-48ver

I didn't buy you a bouquet, but 
I bought you a garden
I didn't book a candlelit dinner, 
but I made your favourite 
dinner
I didn't buy you a gift, but I 
made you a wedding gown

I have done all these to show 
you I care to spend my lifetime 
with you
I have done all these to show 
you I want to take care of you 
for the rest of my life
I have done all these to tell 
you,"I love you."

Great words you have found to express in your own way important feelings that I hope are understood by recipient. Best wishes David in NZ
