No Valentine Day for me

They all got some
and I got none
the flowers, the candy, the teddy bears

It yanks at my heart
to see all the loveing
when I am all alone

I cry and try to get on
with the day but it
is just too hard

I see the cards
that arrive in class
I get excited, but then I see none have my name

The pretty teddy bears
small, large and furry
maybe one is for me.....nope its for that other girl

What do I know?
now the flowers start coming
roses and more roses, not for me

I sit in class, staring down
at the floor, not watching anymore
all alone on this day

I feel a tap on my shoulder
I glance up and see a face
next thing I know the person hands me something

It's a card! I open it quickly
inside it says:
Will you be Mine?

I look up but the face is gone
never again did I find it
I will keep this forever

In the early oftoday
I look down at the old card
it had been years since I got it

I still wonder what happened
to that little face
I might never know

But then on this day
this special day of love
years later I find him

"You..." I say
"you gave this to me."
I hold out the battered up card

The face grins and nods
"Years ago, you kept it?"
His voice quite deep

My eyes full of tears
He hands me another card, brand-new
I open it and gasp

"Be mine again
I won't leave you
on this Valentine."

I whipped my head up and saw
his face was still near
I screamed out "YES!" and hugged him tight

This is what I thought of
the day it was all fake
I knew this would never happen

For it was all
in my head
I never got a card

Never met that dream guy
hope to one day
but that probaly won't fly

I glance around
the room so full
of this love that I'd never know
