My Valentine

The years pass us by, never really changing—

The seasons fade, never really forgetting;

Hand in hand as the leaves fall gently down.

Winter tears drown us like a river sliding

Across the landscape built from our hearts.

A decade passes, I’m still alone—

Wondering why I went so wrong,

Holding on to what I carved in stone.

I can’t believe we are both getting older,

A single day lingers in my mind,

I awake each day just to find it gone.

Your smile, greater than diamonds—

I hold it close, so it will last forever,

I want you to last forever.

A thousand tears pass us by, separate lives—

I’ll never feel the hand of my dreams,

It fades as the seasons pass us by.
