Forgive me, Dear Heart, for forgetting the day,
For not penning down the right words to say,
For not gathering a million more stars for your eyes,
For not planning out a romantic surprise.

For not buying roses to lay at your feet,
For not showering you with every sweet,
Forgive me for loving you the only way I can,
With each thrill of my heart at the touch of your hand.

Forgive me for my cherishing and loving of you,
Instead of one day, for the whole long year through,
For not lighting candles and drawing the blinds,
For with you, My Love, every day’s Valentine’s.
