Happy Valentine's Day!

Just a little something as a project from Rebel Writers Nirvana as a special 'love day' event, enjoy!

Hurry my love, let’s steal away we haven’t much time.

Before the sun sets I must say what’s on my mind.

It’s been so long since last we talked but you are in my dreams

And moments like these are always realer than they seem.

The first day I saw you was the best of my life

Your smile melted away my fears, my worries and my strife

I’d often stopped and wondered why you weren’t worshipped as a God

Why millions everywhere were not instantly in love with you seemed odd 

Because if they saw you as I do, a beautiful spirit and mind

They’d know what an Angel you are, truly one of a kind.

It never fully registered until the moment we met

That when the Heavens rain that it’s for you they wept.

We could talk all day and talk all night and never run out of things to say

My thoughts don’t cease and my eyes don’t blink when you look at me that way

Your love is like the moonflower I watched you bring alive

A mysterious, beautiful bud that blooms in eventide

I feel it on the inside somewhere deep in my soul

You have that certain something that makes my spirit whole

Words could never express the way you make me feel

And when our lips caress, it truly seals the deal

Without you I’d be nothing, that’s an unbearable pain

Of this I am certain, like a cloud without its rain

I think of you every waking moment and long for you each night

And pray your love can free me of this cursed bite.

I’ve loved you for a while but never like this before

What started off as friends blossomed into much more

The way you look into my eyes could heal a broken heart

And your beauty far outweighs even the finest art

Hush my love be still, there’s no need for you to cry

I cannot bear to see a tear stain your pretty eye

I know I demand more of you than our worlds will allow

But with smiles we will look back on this moment right now

Our time is so short and our touches are so few

Yet our secret must hold fast, for now we will make due

I hope one day I can say how much I’m in love with you

And hope on that day that you will love me too.

And as I hold your hand for maybe the last time

Know my heart is yours as yours will always be mine.
