My Love, My Valentine

I see you in my dreams, my love.
Since you walked into my world, my
Life would be different from what it has
Been. You were like a pearl of a gem.
I was waiting for you to appear. Without a
Doubt, with nothing to fear, I knew at
The moment, you'd be like a sweet baby
Fawn walking gracefully about.

When I look at the stars at night,
Knowing that you would be my Knight-
In-Shining Armor, you would rescue me
From danger. You were a stranger to me,
yet I already felt like I knew you. From afar,
You were watching me, as though I were
In a bottle jar. When you opened it up, I was
Like a gentle flower waiting to bloom;
You had cupped me up.

My love, you are my precious Valentine.
Making you feel like I belonged, you sang
A song to me. I stand in awe at the things
You do. As you gaze into my eyes, I no
Longer cry. In my book, you make me feel like
A queen, which is pretty keen. I got hooked
By your presence with just one look.
The essence of your scent was exactly
What it was meant to be. I adored you
From the very start. Come and be thine.

You glow like a shining light, my love.
My life is brighter because of you.
Be thou mine, my sweet Valentine.
Looking at the moon, I knew that I would
Be seeing you soon.
