Valentine Dreams

Valiant suitor in pursuit; for a valentine he has on his mind,
Aching to catch the eye of a lady sweet, fair and kind.
Longing to impress, in his intentions, he must truly shine.
Each day he yearns for a passioned filled fate,
Notions fill his head, with dreams of their first date.
Troubled briefly, that she would decline his advances;
Inspired by February's hearts and flowers, he would take his chances.
"Nothing ventured, nothing gained"; hoping his invitation would not be in vain.
 Evening comes, the table is set, the candles glow; dinner and dancing a perfect    
                                 night for romancing.

I like how you told this from the guy's point of view, and the lines flow together so smoothly, I didn't even realize it was an acrostic! I too hope the lady showed up~

Such a beautifully romantic read. For sure, nothing ventured nothing gained. And even some losses, when deep friendship comes out of them, are to be treasured for a lifetime. Blessings, Joe.
