A Valentine

It’s not much of a rhyme

But it’ll have to do

Cuz here is the “why”

For all my “I love you”s

For not yelling at me

When I’m drying my hair

While you’re trying to sleep -

- a dragon in his lair

For thinking of me

And laughing real hard

When to China you sent

Farts in a card

For always being on top

(When we hold hands)

And not making a face

At my silly ring demands

Taught me to shoot a gun,

Say a knife I should carry

Just in case…

Things ever get hairy

On my fingers and toes

And strands of my hair

I can’t even count

The times you’ve said “I love you”
(wait that one didn’t rhyme)

You don’t bite my finger

When I stick it in your nose

And at the gym we make fun

Of all those silly frat bros

When you talk like a Russian

I get such a giggle

And when the spider beard attacks

You must try not to wiggle!

Give me hugs give me love

You have all of my heart

This path that we’ve taken

Was right from the start

(except when I broke up with you a month into the thing and you were rude to me and then we got back together but you still hold it over my head that I could’ve missed out on all this)

“Life is life”

This much is true

But it’s so much more fun

When I live it with you

I’ve got my cake. And a side of cookies. And maybe some cupcakes too.
