VALENTINE’S DAY

You looked so handsome. 

You looked so cool.

I saw you glance and smile at me, 

One day on the way to school.

My heart started racing as though I was short of air.

You vanished, and I carried that memory with me everywhere.

End of term, school life stopped, an adult I became.

Of course I dated, but none compared to the picture I carried of you, smiling, looking so handsome and cool.

Hurrying home one evening in winter, I tripped, almost fell,

When a hand reached out and safely grabbed me.

It was you, standing there smiling, looking so handsome and cool.

The magic entrapped us, when you said,

“I have been searching for you everywhere.

“I have never forgotten that day on the bus.

“When you smiled at me and blushed.”

Happy Valentine’s Day!
