For my Valentine

All over the world

Pinks and reds

Hearts worn on the sleeves and everywhere

Chocolate is the flavor of the day

And bubbly competes with the gurgling spirit

Valentine's day!

Day of celebrating love

I look in my mirror

One new wrinkle and laughter lines so deep

But you only see the smile

I don't need a day marked to show my love

because I love you everyday

It's in the small things, like you say

Yesterday you made me that cup of tea

And held my hand when I lost it all

I just know when I look in your eyes

That tomorrow comes another day

But those eyes will be the same

As this heart of mine steadily beats

For you

For us

No need for chocolates and roses

A warm look is all that takes

And in a kind word is my salvation

Today and everyday

......lines

Am in this place.

New and old.

New faces. 

Same expressions.

A flash of deja vu.

Smiles.

Faded tears.

Never too late to start over?

The dreams are the same.

Just the scene which changed.

What do I do?

My breath fails.

I clutch my heart.

Life's a blink past.

Good old me.

All alone.

Yet again.

I have wept.

And now I can smile.

Life is too short.

........and I have miles to go,

Before I can rest my head.

But who can stop me from dreaming?

Smiles.

Bright eyes.

My lips curve into a happy smile.

Finally.
