»One Less Valentine«

by Ryan Gordon Penn

Every year it comes around, all happy and pink and red
So I decided to re-assess it, get it right in my head
Because it's not one more Valentines Day feeling sad and lonely
It's one less, till we're together in love and happiness

So this time instead of being bored and depressed
I will take myself out and it's me I will impress
Because how can I expect to sweep you off your feet
If I'm not in love with myself, then I'm incomplete

So it's one more moment of self love, intimacy
and one less Valentine till it's us, you and me
I sometimes dream of what you're like, Who you Are
I've sometimes wished you closer on a falling star
But I know that all beautiful things, do take time
I'm destined to wait to find the hand that perfectly fits mine

So one less Valentine without you, will it be the last?
Till I meet the one who's walked with me in lives long past
My soulmate, my true love, the 'Her' in my heart
My eternal Valentine, my venus right from the start

So while the world celebrates one more Valentines Day, happy or lonely
I will celebrate one less Valentine, Till I'm with you my one and only...
