Monomania(valentine)
So funny, how so fast I reached this familiar time..
Changed the calendar today, just to find tomorrow's valentine.
Lips holding back a smile there, and in my mind memories of yesterday shine,
Hands not sure if to play that love song again,
For tomorrow you'll be the valentine of him,
and not mine.
Took out your picture off my closet, wiped away the dust on there,
Like I do every year, I kept your picture on my table,
To make you see my dear, that again the love is in the air.
And as I set out for a walk, I'll carry you along in my pocket,
The view of couples buying gifts and Archie's gallery playing love songs,
I know that you will mind, now if I don't buy you some chocolates.
So I bought some of the best in town,
Bought a card from the Archie's written 'You're my Dawn'.
And when I bought a cake & two candles, I can sense the smile in your lips,
As you know I'll never miss this, even if I'm alone.
And as the night will begin to fade, and in the clock will be 11 past 58.
I'll lit the candles on the cake, and make sure that your picture be straight,
When it'll be 12, I'll let the knife go down,
With a piece of cake, I'll kiss your lips with a sweet sound.
And everything will be carried out, as if all is fine,
With you picture next to me tonight I'll dine,
But still hands not sure, if to play that love song again,
For tomorrow you'll be the valentine of him,
and not mine.
And ain't it funny, how so fast I reached this familiar time..
Changed the calendar today just to find today's valentine.
Lips holding back a smile there, and in my mind memories of yesterday shine...
The bright old yesterday,
When you used to be this monomaniac's valentine.
Fascinating, poignant, thought-provoking. He clings yet to her memory, too lost to her influence though it is only memory's lane now. Excellent imagery and bittersweet sentiments, drawing the heart curiously into the dark romance that plays its familiar songs...in solitude. Lovely and eerily charming, a tad haunting.
your lines are so beautiful and romantic!!
