My valentine

Valentine's: A Time for Love

Hello, Story Time readers! With Valentine's Day just around the corner, I've decided to share a poem I wrote. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

May you have a wonderful Valentine's Day with your loved ones. And to those who are single, remember, it's a great time to treat and spoil yourself. I believe that loving yourself first is the most important thing. You can't truly give and receive love from others until you know how to love yourself.

Here is my poem, which I've titled "My Valentine." Feel free to share it with that special someone in your life. Don't forget to subscribe to get updates on new posts!

My Valentine

My Valentine doesn't even know he is mine,

My Valentine doesn't know he's the reason I shine.

When I'm around him, I become shy,

My mind often asks, "Why?"

But my heart keeps skipping a beat,

When he smiles at me, I feel the heat.

When he stares at me, I melt,

I wonder if my admiration is felt?

My eyes devour his essence,

Yet I feel captured in his presence.

My cheeks blush when his scent lingers in the air I breathe,

My feet slightly shiver, as if nothing could support them underneath.

How could I have fallen so madly for him, you might ask?

I blame it all on Cupid, for it was his task.

The ache in my heart for him is the fresh wound of Cupid's arrow,

On days I can't be around him, I am filled with sorrow.

I remember the first time I realized he stole my heart,

It was the day our endless fantasies in my head would start.

I’d imagine what it would be like if we were never apart,

Sometimes I think of writing him a card,

On other days, I enjoy admiring him from afar even more.

My Valentine has no idea he is the one I endlessly adore.

I long for his warmth,

I long for a place in his heart.

I want to be the reason for his smile,

I wish to be in his thoughts, even if we haven't spoken in a while.

I want to make him happy and content,

In my imagination, we would always be there for each other no matter how the day went.

Sometimes I ask God if he was heaven-sent,

Sometimes I ask my heart if it's just a foolish desire,

But then his loving words set my heart on fire,

Burning away all doubts and leaving room for passion.

I want to love and appreciate him in the old-fashioned way.

I want to tell him all the reasons why he makes me feel special,

I want to tell him all the reasons why I wish him well.

I fell in love with his mind,

I fell in love with the way he was one of a kind,

I fell in love with the way he was always kind,

I fell in love with the way he could understand my mind.

When I'm with him, I don't feel like a delicate flower,

When I'm with him, I don't feel like a princess that needs saving from her tower.

When I'm with him, I feel empowered,

When I'm with him, with love and care, I am constantly showered.

His magnetic attraction keeps pulling me closer,

My Valentine doesn't even know I'm his lover.

He doesn't know he awakens the butterflies in my stomach,

When he is gone, I count the minutes until he's back.

It might seem like a crazy obsession,

But can you blame me for adoring him even more after every session?

He opens windows to my soul without even trying,

I've never expressed so much to anyone without crying,

Without feeling shame,

Without having myself to blame.

If this were a game, he would be the main prize,

His reassurance makes me believe that I can rise.

In my mind, he is always number one,

When I ask him for advice, he always knows what needs to be done.

He makes me believe that I deserve the attention and care he so tenderly gives,

When he touches me, I feel free of my burdens, and my heart truly lives.

When he speaks to me, it sounds like a sweet melody,

He is always patient and kind to me.

He sees the beauty hidden inside of me,

He also sees the ugly, yet he still accepts me.

My Valentine doesn't even know he is mine,

I long for the day that he will be.

I know I shouldn't be selfish to keep such a gem to myself,

I know that he isn't a prize to be kept on a shelf.

But my heart wants to treasure him,

I'd give away diamonds and gold on a whim for his love,

For a soul that beautiful could only be found in him.

What makes him so special?

It's not only the way he makes me feel,

It's the way his light shines in this world.

A lover's cries cannot remain unheard,

So I tell stories of the flames that rise at our every encounter,

I tell stories of how he is a wonder.

He might grow tired of my admiration,

At least then he can understand my heart’s starvation.

I put my heart and soul on the line,

If it only means that one day my beloved Valentine could be mine.

If he isn't meant for me, then I'll set him free,

As long as he can always remain happy,

For that is what is truly important to me.

My Valentine doesn't know he is mine,

If he's never mine, that’s fine.

But if he does belong to me, our love will only grow stronger,

His arms will become my shelter, and his kisses will silence my hunger.

Maybe, just maybe, my Valentine can indeed be mine.

If that happens, together we will shine.

I'll never let go of his hand,

When he needs me, by his side I will stand,

When he loves me, I will give him more love back,

Together we will keep each other on track.

He will be my King, and I will be his Queen,

If my Valentine becomes mine, no one shall come in between.
