valentine

funny valentine
is what I dreamed you would be
instead you became
my lost valentine that slipped
out my hands, forever gone

  1. I like the contrast between "funny" and "lost".

  2. 'funny valentine' took me straight to my father's record collection and one of my favourite songs by Sarah Vaughan - and then I had to go to YouTube and listen to it.
    So sad that the 'funny Valentine' became a 'lost valentine'.

  8. Love can take so many twists and turns, but it's worth the risk every time. Something always to be learned.

  9. I think we all hope for a funny valentine, someone we can relate to. But not the heartbreak. Nice work.

  10. How unfortunate and painful to have a hope for funny valentine turn into a lost one. Even then, love is worth the risk.
