Lonely Valentine

Another Valentines Eve
Alone, and no one to call my own
Holding back emotions
Threatening to take
My joy, my hope
But then I recall, amidst my tears
No promise from above
Ever went unanswered
Our hearts longing
Is not in vain
We just need to have
Our thoughts align
Love is not some
Fast Food pipe dream
But a choice, and a gift
If we are brave enough to let it in
