Sometimes I wake up

in the middle of the night

shivering from fright feeling
empty feeling nothing because
I think about how it would be if
you weren't here And then I
wonder if you really know
how very much you mean to
me how incredible I think you
are how you are a part of all my
emotions how you are the
deepest meaning in my life
Please always know that I
love you more than anything
else in the world

I cannot promise you that

I will not change
I cannot promise you that
I will not have many different moods
I cannot promise you that
I will not hurt your feelings sometimes
I cannot promise you that
I will not be erratic
I cannot promise you that
I will always be strong
I cannot promise you that
my faults will not show
But I do promise you that
I will always be supportive of you
I do promise you that
I will share all my thoughts
and feelings with you
I do promise you that
I will give you freedom to be yourself
I do promise you that
I will understand everything that you do
I do promise you that
I will be completely honest with you
I do promise you that

I will laugh and cry with you

I do promise you that
I will help you achieve all your goals
But most of all
I do promise you that
I will love you
-Poem by Susan Polis Schutz

I'll Love You Forever

How Do I Love Thee?
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of every day's
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
I love thee freely, as men strive for right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old grief, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints -- I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! -- and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

Since Meeting You

I Know that Love
Is the Most Important Feeling
One Can Have

I used to think
that love was only real in the movies
and that I enjoyed being alone
I used to think
that I was too independent
that I didn't need anyone
because I was so strong
But after meeting you
I realize that my attitude

towards love
was merely a cover-up of
my disappointment with relationships
I put on a strong, noncaring front
so no one would know how I felt
But after meeting you
I could no longer pretend
My feelings became transparent
and now I want to tell the world
something I always knew but was
afraid to admit
that love is the most important
feeling one can have
and I want to thank you for
causing me to be honest
with myself and others
I love you

Be Mine, My Valentine
by Sandy By The Sea

I've looked for you forever,

You were right here all the time,
On this sweetest day for lovers,
Be mine, my Valentine ....

Not for today but always,

My heart belongs to you,
I just never realized,
My whole life through
That you were what I've wanted,
What I wished for all this time,
On this sweetest day for lovers,
Be mine, my Valentine ....

I love you and I'll always will,

Be yours with all my heart,
On each and every special day,
We'll never be apart.
OOO's and XXX's to you, my love,
Throughout the sands of time,
On this sweetest day for lovers,
Be mine, my Valentine ....

Be Mine
by Kevin Buchert

Cupid's day has finally come

Where two are joined and made as one,
Filled with romance, joy and love,
Are you my gift sent from above?
I've one request of you this day,
All I ask is be mine today.
Oh, how I wish for this day to go on
Taking us to the realms beyond.
You've taken my heart and made it your own,
Your love to me was the seed once sown.
I must ask lest I'm filled with sorrow,
Will you be mine today and tommorrow?
My longing for you is true and deep,
Refreshes my soul, makes my eyes to weep.
A journey with you on an endless road,
Where it shall lead only our hearts do know.
Is it destiny calling for us to be together?
Urging me to ask, will you be mine forever?

How do I tell you I'm sorry With a gesture, a look, a touch?

How is it I never realized
I hurt you so very much?
I do not ask forgiveness,
A comfort I'll never deserve.
I merely want to let you know,
But I cannot find the nerve.
To finally confront you, face-to-face,
To look you in the eye,
To face your wrath, your apathy Too terrified to try.
You called me selfish, I turned away,
I festered and I fled;
Cutting and wounding and lashing out,
Just to see if you bled.
Betraying and deceiving you,
I surely had no right
To snatch away such a precious gem;
A dark thief in the night.
Four years and forever passed
To bring us to this day,
When I present these simple words
I never thought to say.
The time has come, it's long past due,
To put aside my fear;
Would this confession torture you,
Or have you longed to hear?
To
To
To
To

hear those two forbidden words,

vanquish all the pain,
understand my dearest wish:
know you once again.

The years aged me remarkably,

Though they have not made me wise;
I do know I erred irrevocably For that I apologize.

For My Valentine
by Bernice Francis

My Love for you keeps growing

strong,
Each day that we are together
The love that you have given me,
I will cherish in my heart forever.
Valentine's Day is just a day
To share with those most dear
But we don't need a special day
Because we celebrate all year.
But on this Valentine's day,
I really want you to know,

No matter what life throws at us

I will always love you so.
I know I don't need to ask
The question of will you be mine?
Because my heart belongs to you,
And you're always my Valentine

Special Message
by Baby Poet

Valentine's day is not just for lovers

But also for good friends
So here is a special message
For you on Valentine's day
For always being true and kind
For always being sweet
For bringing smiles of joy
To every part of me
I send to you my heart
With endless friendship and love
And a promise to always be
Your friend in days to come
I know our friendship
Will see the years ahead

I'm grateful to have you, my friend

On this Valentine's day

Silver mists yet lightly linger,

prophetic dreams of this sweet time.
Tonight youre safely in my arms
my cherished one, dear Valentine.
Though shivers of excitement fill
this cherubic celebration,
please know my love beats deep and pure
beneath this honeyed flirtation.
Tis destiny for us to share
Cupids romantic endeavor.
With all sincerity I say
Youre My Valentine, Forever.

I Want You For My Valentine

by LaSandman

You'd be perfect for me

Your loveliness is to excess
You take my breath away
I bare my heart unto you love
I cast it at your feet
If you would be my valentine
Wouldst make my joy complete
I want you for my valentine
But not just for a day
I want you ever by my side
Shall we say ... always
I know that I am reaching
But, that's easy for me
Sweetheart, I'd circle
Heaven and earth
Just to be with thee

I want you for my valentine

Dearest, we'll take the day
We'll travel any where
you wish
We'll frolic love and play
We'll dine in quiet elegance
Then dance the night away
If I could only win your love
Alas, my fondest dream

To My Valentine
by Dorothy Barnwell

I'm usually pretty silly,

When I show you how I care,
But today is very special,
And be silly, I don't dare.
I thought of sending flowers,
But thought, no, no to you.
I thought of sending candy,
But that was silly too.

I wanted to send a card,

With all the frills along,
Or send you all my love
In a silly little song.
I could have sent balloons,
But that is getting old.
I could have sent a heart
Made of 14kt. gold.
I could have sent a teddy bear
To snuggle with at night,
But I'd rather it be with me you snuggle,
When you turn out the lights!
I couldn't think of how to show it,
In any special way,
So, I guess there's only one thing left
For me to briefly say.
I love you, Sweet Heart,
And I'm so glad you're mine,
So, would you, if I asked real nice,
Be my Valentine?

Sweet Valentine
by Bonnie Z.

At this time of hearts and flowers

Kind thoughts are turned to you,
For all the simply wonderful deeds,
You always say and do.
You've opened up your heart to me,
And shared what's treasured there,
The beauty of your spirit and soul,
I'll handle them with care.
Each and every day that passes,
You always make me smile,
Whether we are close and side by side,
Or apart by many a mile.

I feel so very honored,

You are a dear friend of mine,
Now it is the time to tell you,
I love you, sweet Valentine.

I could give you a heart,

Molded out of clay
To express everything
I want to say.

I could give you a heart,

Cut from pretty paper
To write eternally yours,
My love will never taper.

I could give you a heart,

Hand blown from glass
To remind you of its purity,
Every time you walk pass.

I could give you a heart,

Melted and shaped in gold
To solidify the brilliance
Of what our future holds.

I could give you a heart,

Formed from sugar sweets
To give you a rush
That life is complete.

I could give a heart,

Made of many things.
Instead, I'll give you mine,
With love for you as its filling.

Love You More Today

by Netti
I love you more today
then I did the day before
and I never thought I could
love you any more
But every single day
you're deeper in my heart
then the day before
or even from the start
Never stop this feeling
don't ever let it end
nothing could be better
then loving my best friend
You put that feeling in my heart
you always make me smile
and God has given you to me
at least for a little while
So I will take you gladly
and hold you close to me
and show the entire world
how wonderful love can be
