Valentine’s

wine and dine

I want us like the stars need the night

I see beauty so bright

I feel you soulfully

I might

crumble

this apple

needs loving

you are wonderful

I’ll say it loud

no mumble

I love you

you make me feel wholesome

I would hold your heart with softness

you don’t deserve no coldness

you deserve warmth and kindness

and all the wining and dining.
