I bought you a valentine,
It was simple and true,
It uncaged my heart,
I couldn’t give it to you,
For fear of rejection,
For fear of disgrace,
I’d pour out my heart,
As I looked in your face,
If it’s courage you want,
It can’t be found here,
For when you walk by,
My heart flutters with fear,
So here’s how it read,
I’ll let it all show,
I’ll write it all out,
I'll let it all go,
"I held her in my arms
I could hear her say
'All you have to do
is feel the music, and sway.'
She was so right
So alive, warm and near
I could feel the song slide
and resolve disappear
A beautiful Orchid
bringing more than pleasure in sight
Owning my thoughts
'Til I find solace in night"
