A Welcome Sign for You
“So there it is, I said it—
Can I please be your Valentine?
Because there’s no other soul
That would make a better pair with mine.
It seems like an exaggeration,
How badly I believe that to be true,
But no other human being on this planet
Could ever compare to the reality of you.
I can’t believe I just said that,
But at the same time,
I need to say—
If we were both different people,
I would still recognize you anyway.
From the warmth of your smile,
From the promises in your voice—
If I could choose to become an angel,
Staying with you on earth
Would be my favorite choice.
Anywhere, any day, any song,
Any rhyme—
Everything I write about
Becomes about you in no time.
And thank God for that,
Because if we were subjects at school,
You’d convince everyone to study harder—
Because you’d be so damn cool.
If you were books,
You’d have fan pages galore—
Everyone’s beloved,
Favorite character.
Need I say more?
You would be Valentine’s Day,
Of course, you would be.
I would be begging Cupid
For you to fall in love with me!
And that sneaky angel—
He won’t say a word,
Just makes me feel like for once,
These damn feelings should be heard.
So I like you, I said it—
Please be my Valentine,
Because for a while, my heart
(Just for you)
Has been holding a welcome sign.”
