Valentine
Turning off my phone,
Turning down the lights.
I want it to be just me
And your memory tonight.
I’ll light some candles
And turn the music on low.
You and I can dance
In the light of the moon glow.
And if we get tired,
And you need a place to lay your head…
Since you’ve been gone,
I haven’t filled your void in this bed.
We can whisper in the darkness
About all the things we’ve missed.
Reminisce all those sweet moments,
Like the first time we kissed.
I just want to hear your voice
When I talk to you like you’re there.
And when I reach for you in the night,
I want to run my fingers through your hair.
But if my hands meet cold pillows
When I roll over at dawn
At least I’ll have gotten my wish,
Just one more night with you, Shawn.
