Happy Valentines Day, My Love

Tonight I can't stop thinking about you

And everything we've ever said and done

I miss the smell of your hair and your perfume

But I am so happy for all the battles we've won



If it weren't for this distance between us

We may have never felt this close at all

I guess that sometimes breaks can save us

And pick us back up whenever we struggle and fall



I want to thank you for being so lovely

You are really the only thing on my mind

And although I know you will not believe me

You are the most beautiful girl that I've ever seen



I hope that you are happy today

And that the tough times get pushed out of the way

Won't you smile for me just one last time?

Before the lights from the day slowly start to fade



Every night you are on my mind

I wake up early hoping it is you I will find

If I could sleep in, trust me I would

But with you in my thoughts, sleep...I never could



Happy Valentines day to you, my love

You are my best friend and angel sent from above

I love every little thing about you

Even the things you listed that night, and the bad habits, too



I just want you to know

That as long as you want me to be

I will be anything and everything you want or need

You can call me your love, your strength, your best friend



This is my confession to you

Of a love so pure and true

And a friendship that will continue to grow

This I promise you, my love, in time you will know

Author's Notes/Comments: 

For Shannon, my love, my friend, my own strength, and my own comfort.  It's Valentines Day...and I would not rather have anyone else on my mind right now but you.  This poem almost got lost during the writing of it...but fate would have it that when my computer turned back on...it was still here for you...sort of a metaphor for me always there for you no matter what.
