I Wish You Were My Valentine

I wish you were my Valentine Though I may not be yours, And I may, in my ignorance, Be speaking to closed doors. I have no inkling of your heart, No hint what you might say; But when I think of you the sun Will just not go away. There is in you a loveliness That makes my darkness shine, And so I'll wait, if wait I must, To be your Valentine. Copyright by Nicholas Gordon. Free for personal or non-commercial use.
