Valentine

For all the smoochy romantics out there, this poem is dedicated to my lovely hubby who I met at university when I was just 20 years old <3

Valentine

stay by my side
and in my heart
with love like ours
we’ll never part
you have the key
to unlock my joy
it’s been this way
since you were a boy
so young when we met
it surely won’t last
we’d soon forget
a history past
defying the odds
hand in hand
decades later
together we stand
your life and mine
coupled as one
we breathe together
and share the same sun
a light within
for all our days
until we’re old
and sunset fades
