Oh, Valentine
what if I...
should walk the earth
without your smile
or stare alone
into starry nights
without comfort
from your arms
what if I...
should see the sun
without your smile
or wake alone
from my pillow
without comfort
from your hands
what if I...
should cry tears
or have sadness
without your smile
or feel empty
without comfort
from your heart
what if I...
should desire death
without your smile
and feel lost
or afraid
without comfort
from your love
you are my destiny
and you...
are the life
upon my breath
at long last...
I have found
true love…
