Valentine's Day
Place: A cozy little restaurant.
Date: February 14th, Valentine's Day.
I'm sitting by myself,
I watch all the couples,
Spirited by the thoughts of Valentine's Day.
The love between them sparkles in their eyes.
Hugs, kisses, the smiles, loving words,
Glittering presents of jewelry.
I look, the love is all around me,
But not with me.
I sigh, feeling happiness from seeing everyone,
Yet sadness from not experiencing it myself.
I feel as if I am waiting there for something,
Waiting for the door to open,
And some to walk in an sweep me off my feet,
To be the one that I love so we can share this special day.
He and I would have that sparkle in our eyes,
And that smile that only two in love can have.
But I guess I can only imagine, for now.
And yet I keep sitting there,
Waiting for him, waiting for love to tap me on the shoulder,
And take me into that wonderful world.
