My Late-Night Valentine (My Sullen Valentine)

My late-night valentine

Did you know you were mine?

Are you a little lopsided?

I showed up at your door

Bearing flowers and more

Everything felt bad

I was so sad

My late-night valentine

Did you know that I wasn’t fine?

Don’t be starstruck

You’ll just wind up in the dark

My late-night valentine

Do you mind

That I’m dry and torn in two

By women unlike you?

And I sit here

Dreaming of comfort

I dreamt that love would never die

Time

Time, don’t run out on me

There’s still so much for me to see

Don’t make me aged and languishing

I am not ready

 

Time, do not be cruel to me

I am but a boy so pretty

With so much still to climb to and gain

But wait!  When time is gone, I shall reach the heavenly.

Thoughts in a cafe

I’m sitting in the cafe alone

Where we did grow to know each other

My car’s broke

and I’m doing things I don’t want to

 

I wonder, I really do wonder

if it’s ok to be in pain

over last year’s holiday

because that one, she whom I mentioned, is gone

 

Now you’re home

and I’m here aline

But I hope things grow amongst us all

like a garden

 

My fingers clench the table

I’m getting texts from people I don’t want to hear from

I saw in the papers that the polar bears got their game on again

To start the New Year

 

I’m sitting at the same table we sat

and I’m hoping you won’t forget me

My fingers are clenched in despair

I don’t want it to go there

 

I know that many don’t see me as manly

but still I know they love me, the family

and Johnny asks me if I’m all right

I really am, because of the memory I have here.

 

I hope you don’t forget me

I hope you don’t regret me

I beg you not forget me

My thoughts in this cafe travel on and on

 

I just hope you won’t forget me

Now that you’re home.

Skater Girl

Skater girl, skater girl

you rolled into my world

you turned it upside down

and I skated beside you

 

Skater girl, skater girl

Where are you?

I need to get my fill today

Can I wear your shoes?

 

Skater girl, skater girl

your hair is really cool

you wear it just like mine

together we battle fools

 

Skater girl, skater girl

who are you?

You kissed me that night

What else could I do but

love you?
