My Unofficial Valentine

A new day begins,
I wake up alone,
And I wonder what this is,
Just what you mean to me,

I wake to the alarm,
And the new day starts,
I'm already overcome,
By your misshapen hearts,

I come home each night,
To a table of flowers,
Make a beautiful meal,
Just to pass a few hours,

My friends would always say,
I had my head in the clouds,
But I couldn't be more humble,
Yet, I couldn't be more well-endowed,

As a kid I'd wish for things,
Like marraige and children,
And I'd hope these hopes would stay,
And even do today,

When the light embraces you,
You couldn't be more sublime,
All the more reason,
You're my mind's only Valentine,

Though you won't speak to me,
When I've done something wrong,
I think you're even cuter with a grudge,

And the sands of time fall,
Through the hourglass eye,
But waiting is asking too much,

O, I'd write you a sonnet,
And sing you a song,
But I'll hold off for ten years;
Ten years too long,

I know I've dreamt of you,
Since before I could dream,
And I've held out on you,
I've got to come clean,

I can't wait ten years to marry you,
I can't even last one more day,
I can't wait ten years to stare at you,
...At least when you've said it's okay,

O, I'd write you a sonnet,
And sing you a song,
But to ask for a minute,
Is a minute too long,

And I'd carry you home,
From a chapel abroad,
Just to hear you once more,
When you're calling me odd,

O, I'd buy you a rocking chair,
Comforts and all,
And I'd look down a foot less,
And watch you grow tall,

O, your innocent gaze,
Is what makes you so lovely,
How your puppy-dog eyes,
Seem as large as your hand,

And your unembellished chest,
Keeps you more than amazing,
And the arguments we have,
How you win every one,

I love how you hate,
You can't keep me away,
But I've promised my self,
That you'd love me someday,

O, I'd write you a sonnet,
And sing you a song,
And I'll hold off for five years;
Ten years too long.
