Another year Another day
Always seeing you just to say “hey”
I have been wanting for you to be my valentine
But I am quite frightened that we will not combine
The day I came up to you to break the question
You shockingly voiced out a confession
That night we had fun and a delightful hour
And me, thinking that you are the right person, I would give a bouquet of flowers
Mesmerized by your beauty, personality, and amazing sense of humor
I see myself being with you in the future
As we grow old, we stay together
With you by my side making our every struggle light as a feather
Sadly, I went up to the sky
Even though I did not get a chance to say goodbye
There I was again in my new life asking, “Would you be my valentine?”
