"Full Moon on Valentine's Night"

I think of you often and at times like tonight
Your radiant smile made me feel so right
I remember the nights when we shared so much
A brush of your leg, a soft lover's touch

I will think of you more as I lie here alone
Words mean so little, and I can't find a tone
I respect you and care for you
Though it doesn't always show
I hope only for the best for you
Soar higher, never low

I've respect for your wishes
For your dreams, for your hopes
I've never been a good romantic
I just didn't know the ropes

And I just never learned how to
     read 'tween the lines
But as I see the full moon smile
     I feel love is mine

I would give you the love that I possess
And whatever next happens
I will never love less

Please feel happy, ecstatic
Words just get in the way
Oh seet precious girl
Happy Valentine's Day.
