Lonely Valentine

*Valentine's is coming
but you won't be with me,
I will not get to gaze upon
the face I want to see. *
*
Chances are we might not get
to talk upon the phone,
On the most romantic day,
I'll feel the most alone.

I never noticed just how bright
the stars light up the sky,
Until I looked upon your face
and saw them in your eyes.

I never knew the burning flames
that come from passion's fire,
Until one little Celtic kiss,
ignited my desire

I never thought it'd hurt this bad
to love someone so much,
Until your hand reached out for mine,
with just a simple touch.*
