SECRET VALENTINE
I am your SECRET VALENTINE
I am a message in a mystery
I am cryptic To and From lines
Perhaps some romantic history
I am pinning from afar
Maybe even unrequited
Like a detective noir
Private eye and femme fatale united
I am not all the crap people buy
I am one of a kind and hand-crafted
I am a reused colored cardstock supply
I am upcycled words and love adapted
Kindergarten-made to inbox your notes
I am the makeshift shoebox mailbox
I hope for your thoughts as votes
I am how every valentine is a paradox
As custom and personalized as I am
I am also mass printed tearable paper
To make it easy to give optical illusions
On Valentines hiding I am all vapor
I am googly eyes on hearts
I am hearts on oogling eyes
I am hearts on greeting cards
A simple message to you disguised
I am a long way of saying–
I am saying a long way–
I adore you, I am falling
Feeling the spark, I am the flame
I am burning for more than flowers
Thriving gifts sweet from the heart
I am no secret (Adam Powers)
I am what counts, the thought
I actually didn't get you anything this year
Or if you count this, I did I guess
If you count a rambling rhyme full of fear
You could say I am prepared for this
I am the secret that isn't a secret
The mystery that solves itself in time
I am all the earnest words I don't regret
I am your clandestine valentine.
