Would you
Want to be mine?
I need a Valentine.
It’s lonely in this cold, hard world.
Would you?

*

Love waits.
It’s not pushy.
It just loves — with patience —
And gives both time and space for love
To grow.

*

Ah … well …
‘Tis sad indeed:
The one I love’s in love.
But not with me. With someone else.
I cry.

*

Heart pounds;
Palms sweat; mouth’s dry;
Can’t seem to concentrate.
Is this some rare disease? No, wait:
It’s LOVE.
