To my favorite Valentine

Sometimes you were quite cruel to me Your desires as transparent as glass Yet you're the only person on this day To have given me a gift that was not for the class You ass Thanks for giving a damn For not just walking away when things got hard For finding all my thoughts and feelings fascinating Without my needing to edit them out You know what I'm really about For taking the time to ask how I feel and how my life is going Ebb and shift how my mind is flowing Be there for me to keep my joy growing And actually notice when the pain is showing When I'm an old husk beyond my sublunary years And there's nothing left but the memory I will still always have a smile for the one who was always there for me Happy Valentines Day myself.
