~ My Valentine ~ Valentine’s Day, 2010 to 2011~
I remember last year, this month
The days, leading up to this day
Filled with little girl thrill
Anticipation and Creativeness
Puppy dogs, bears, and parking lot visits
It stays with me you know, this feel
Every day of the year
Almost as if, every day were Valentines
Anticipation and Creativeness
Puppy dogs, bears, and my words so real
A year ago, two days ago
Exactly a week before Valentine’s Day
I kissed you ... twice
And with one of them, I touched your face
I remember this, why? Because of
Puppy dogs, bears, and the words I write
Filled with little girl thrill
Anticipation and Creativeness still
Remember the first little puppy that I brought to you?
Pink and white ... so, so me
I wanted so bad to give it to you
I saw in your eyes, you knew that
... but you could not take it
That was the night, I kissed you ... twice
And with one of them, I touched your face
Two days later, that would be a year ago today,
I was back with “bigger and better”
This puppy took up the whole back seat!
Better ... because he is Black AND Pink
I couldn’t believe my eyes ... the surprise
Of finding this prize ... maybe, my finest possession!
Do you remember him too? I bet you do.
Again, in your eyes I saw the praise
That I could be the woman (yet girl)
To bring these to you
While you laughed at my girlishness
I found amazement, for me, too
There was a bear that you never saw
I bought him too ... he’s beautiful blonde
With a heart tucked under his chin
~xoxo~ is inscribed on this heart
He sits atop “Gangus”
... which you named my (our) black/pink puppy
Another you did see, my tiny white fluff bear
Pink nose, pink ribbon, pink hearts upon his feet
And two pink hearts draped around his neck
“Hug” & “Me” inscribed upon them
This one reminds me
Of what every day could bring to me
... They all reflect the hope for you & me
This 2011 year ... I have all I need
In the “animal” department
And though some might disagree
I also have the love so deserving of me
Because my heart feels so safe
Lying where it is meant to be
Yes, I remember last year
As if it were this year
As if it were happening all over again
That’s how close you stay to me
All year long
That’s how powerful, what you and I have
There’s a bottle too, sitting on my desk
Little girl thrill, love, and creativeness
Shaped as a heart ... a written message to you attached
I know, one day, you will receive this
And look at me, like once before,
With unleashed and softened love again
Until then, it is safe and secure with me
Representing the days, the weeks, months and years
That go by ... How strong is what I feel?
How empowering is what I feel?
COMPLETE ... with little girl thrill
Anticipating ... Creating ... fullness of life with you
Happy Valentine’s Day 2011, MY Security!
The second, of many to come
Another day, of many
Where even your absence
FILLS my heart
Because I know connection, fills every gap
Love, Terri
