For You, My Valentine

Today is the day,
Where lovers cherish their love,
Today is the day,
Couples are to be with each other,
Today is the day,
Love birds show their affection,
Today is the day,
I want to show my appreciation,
Today is also the day,
I miss you greatly,
Today is the day,
We are miles apart sadly,
Still we have to celebrate,
For February 14 is still Valentine's Day,
For you this poem I dedicate,
A poem to say I love you everyday.

Weeks back to this date,
I have wanted to write this to my babe,
Today is the chance I seize,
I hope our love will never cease,
More than wanting to see you pleased,
I hope I am your every bliss.

Six years we have been a couple,
Through ups and downs,
Thick and thin,
We have shared tears and laughter,
First two were from a distant,
Just able to speak and listen,
Another four went by in an instant,
Together most times it felt like heaven.

I have been reflecting,
Probing and thinking,
Of our memories as lovers,
Of the changes in us,
Of what we have achieved,
Or what we have missed,
Of what beholds our future,
Of what could have been better,
Of you my dear love,
Of everything is our love.

Between us things have changed,
Since the day I held your hands,
When you coughed in the dark,
In the crowded cinema,
On the day we first hugged,
To this day we are apart,
Yet we are together,
You are still my partner,
You are still my lover,
We are still together.

Back then was so tough,
So much so it was hard to laugh,
We missed each other so much,
Thinking how good if we could touch,
Every night we called and said goodnight,
Never once it felt like goodbye,
Our hearts felt close,
Far apart bodily but not our souls.

You are my cherry I am your tart,
Yet we are a mismatch from the start,
Geminis are not meant for Pisceans,
Dogs shouldn't live with the Oxen,
I am one you are the other,
Yet we have chosen to be together,
Best or secret friends we are not,
But we are a matching key and lock,
Social rules don't favor us,
Our age difference is like a curse,
How can it be that I am younger,
And you are older,
This surely upset the elders,
Yet we held strong to each other,
Six years later,
We are still together,
We have defied all odds to be lovers,
We are still lovers,
We are still together,
We are still together.

I miss the days of the past,
Even though they were hard,
We were so strong together,
Our love was simply unshakable,
When you came home,
When you were leaving,
Each hug came with tears,
They were tears of joy,
They were also tears of sorrows,
It was bitter sweet for years,
It was painful at times,
It was hurtful for the mind,
Yet those were days I miss much,
The days the world we couldn't care much,
The days we only had eyes with each other,
The days our lives had no others.

We used to sms each other for everything,
We used to chat about anything,
We used to talk on phone endlessly,
We felt comfort even we spoke silently,
We used to kiss and hug at every moment,
We shared secrets we had never spoken,
How things have changed for better or worse,
Now we hardly share with each other,
Sharing with others you would rather,
Because at times I don't seem to bother,
Keeping to myself is my preference,
I don't seem to understand your problems,
There are times I can't stand your noise,
There are days I raise my voice,
Despite that we are still together,
For all I know we still love each other,
There are good days,
There are bad days,
For better or worse,
We are still together.

I hope you remember,
When you were a scholar,
You wrote me a 15-page long letter,
I am not a very good reader,
I can hardly read pass to pages,
Minutes to me feels like ages,
However that's with my studies,
Not with your letter,
It was so pleasant to think back,
The days when I love everything you did,
When I love every moment we shared,
When you felt the same about me,
When we grazed into each other,
Knowing we have each other's love,
Knowing we are so strong together,
Feeling it would only be greater.

We might have shared less,
We might have hugged less,
We might have kissed less,
We might have talked less,
We might have called less,
We might have cared less,
But I know I love you still,
Because fear is what I feel,
In fear of hurting you,
In fear of disappointing you,
In fear of annoying you,
In fear of not listening to you,
In fear of not supporting you,
Most of all in fear of losing you,
For that I know I love you still,
I love you still.

Throughout the years,
I have made promises,
Some are fulfilled,
Others are not,
Some are simply the forgotten lot,
I have been such a disappointment,
I felt like that very often,
At times I wish I am a lot better,
I want so bad to be your perfect partner,
I long to be a little taller,
Smarter and broader,
I want to be of better manner,
I wish I am much older,
Only if I already have a career,
And be far far richer.

I want to be the man,
Who fulfills your dreams and wishes,
Who takes away all your grouses,
I want to be the man,
Who gives you tons of happiness,
Who erases all your sadness,
But I know I am not the man,
I am far from your ideal man,
I know because I felt weak,
I know because I felt sick,
Negativity looms around me,
I looked at things less cheerfully,
I care so much more,
I see myself on the floor,
Sad that tons I want to change,
Signifying I am not on the lane.

Over the years,
We have grown as persons,
Over the years,
We have changed for our own reasons,
We have affected each other,
To be different from when we're first together,
Our mindset might not be identical,
Our thinking might be dissimilar,
Our interests might be conflicting,
Our hobbies might not be matching,
However there's one thing we share,
And that's our feelings for each other,
That's what that has mattered,
That's what that holds us tight,
That's why we are still together,
Despite we had fights,
I just want to tell you,
I still love you,
With you my days are bright,
For you have been my light.

I know your heart has never changed,
I know your love has remained,
Your love for me is not justified,
A lot that you has sacrificed,
You have tolerated my weaknesses,
You have accepted my inabilities,
You have seen my idiosyncrasies,
You have felt hurt because of me,
You have your dreams on hold,
For I have yet to fall into the mold,
Yet I am still your lover,
And that indicates to me,
You still love me,
You still love me.

I wish today we are together,
I wish today I am stronger,
I admit I am scared,
That you wouldn't have cared,
That you would have a great time,
Forgetting about mine,
I want to reach you so bad,
I really fear I would go mad,
I don't want to be sad,
But my heart felt a crack.

No matter what our future holds,
I need you to know,
That you have given me lots of memories,
I will definitely cherish,
That you have loved me,
Like I have loved you unconditionally,
That we have shared our lives,
More than that we have realized,
That we are not obliged to each other,
But we are still lovers,
That though we are separated,
Our love remained united.

Baby,
Thank you for your patience,
Thank you for your trust,
Thank you for your respect,
Thank you for your time,
Thank you for everything,
That you have given me,
Thank you for the 6 years,
Thank you for wanting more,
I love you to your core,
More than all the above,
I thank you for your love.

This poem might be filled with flaws,
It might have broken the grammar laws,
It might not rhyme,
It might be wrongly timed,
It might have words misspelled,
But what the hell,
I hope it's a poem you would love,
On this very day to celebrate us,
For you, my love,
I dedicate this poem,
For you, my love,
I wish you from a distant,
Happy Valentine's Day,
I hope I made your day.
