Valentine Blues

Valentine’s Blues

I see you in the skies above

Holding your hand into the air

But when I reach to take it

I find you’re not really there

I see you in the glass

As I walk along the halls

But when I turn to find you

You aren’t there at all

The birds sing and the sun shines bright

But you are nowhere to be found

My valentine, sweet valentine

Why aren’t you around?

I find myself all could and numb

Not feeling happy or content

I have everything here but you

It is my heart’s only rent

I’m not sure why I miss you

Or why I even want you here

All I know is that I want you

I feel so cold without you near

Everyone has someone,

No one else seems to be alone

My valentine, sweet valentine

Why won’t you come home?

Then it hits me, like a bullet

This isn’t your home anymore

What was once bright and cheerful

Became a battlefield of war

We had our chance as lovers

But never one as friends

And standing here without you

Makes me want to try again

It’s as though the world goes on

Yet my hearts is frozen and blue

My valentine, sweet valentine,

I long to be near to you

But you aren’t my valentine

You aren’t even mine anymore

Whatever we had is over

It ended when I walked out the door

How can I miss something so bad

Something that hurt me time and again

How can I love you so much

After all the things you did?

I stare out at the sky, sighing as I look

I love you, I always have and always will

Wont you be my valentine, sweet valentine,

And chase away this chill?
