There was a once upon a time When this day brought trembling And swayed my self with tears The sight of velvet petals splashed In scarlet flutters Made my lower lip quiver Crudely cobbled rhymes Pricked the corners of my nose And I hardened my eyes Turning away, shouldering The world and denying any feeling Denouncing love All the while, your halo was choking Your absence was a presence Like a tumor But a year's distance Has reawakened my adoration For the taste of spring And affection for roses Realization that I cannot sink When I'm holding others up Focusing lenses on pain worse than mine Releases my love My Valentine To the world

There was a once upon a time When this day brought trembling And swayed my self with tears The sight of velvet petals splashed In scarlet flutters Made my lower lip quiver Crudely cobbled rhymes Pricked the corners of my nose And I hardened my eyes Turning away, shouldering The world and denying any feeling Denouncing love All the while, your halo was choking Your absence was a presence Like a tumor But a year's distance Has reawakened my adoration For the taste of spring And affection for roses Realization that I cannot sink When I'm holding others up Focusing lenses on pain worse than mine Releases my love My Valentine To the world
