Be My Valentine
Oft times it takes, a world of hurt, to make us see life clearly,
I've felt things that'd make others give up, and in truth, I did, most nearly.
I've taken some time looking for the answers to fix my damaged soul,
and I know that it's really up to me to make myself feel whole.

But there's something about, my time spent with you, that lessens my torment.
And something about, the way you smile, that leaves me at peace again.
I can't believe, in a few short months, how different my view has become,
of you and the way, you're eroding my walls, so as to let in the sun.

It scares me though, to feel again, and to think about taking a chance.
So, I sit here and wait, never showing my fear, never making the first advance.
I know it's a lot to give this admission when you've seen your own fair share,
of the stress and pain of more trying times, the heartbreak, and despair.

I'm in the worst place that I'll probably be in, as far as my life's concerned.
I've crawled from the dark to reside in the light with the self-love I have learned
i didn't request that we start to be friends with romantic intentions in mind
for the most part I've tried, to run from those feelings and to leave my heart behind

I have honestly thought, since our pregnancy scare, what we could be in the future
I would gladly start planning my life in a way to support a united adventure
I don't want to cause you a new wave of stress as a result of these blatant confessions.
But I think that I'm willing to at least share some hugs, if that's not an unreasonable suggestion

So, truth be told, I'm taking it slow, I will never rush in too fast.
Because I need, for once, to know that my efforts, are towards something that can last.
so I apologize, for the way I get, when I'm overwhelmed with joy
my emotional range goes all over the place, as if I'm a five year old boy.

And for Valentine's day, though the holiday is gay, as my rhymes can tend to be.
I'm so thankful to bring you this wonderful meal, and that you're sharing the day with me. This drive thru is slow, I want to watch Luci, as we share all the things he goes through.
Though you fidna throw hands, at these words that I'm sending, I'm glad that I'll be there with you.
