A True Valentine

Yesterday my best friend came to see me

His eyes were glowing and full of laughter

Although we didn’t want his girlfriend to see

I was still his best friend and it didn’t matter

We’d always helped each other out

Through everything, thick and thin

We were always there without a doubt

In his heart, he always let me in

Whenever we had needed each other

We’d always been there

My feelings about him are ones of a sister

Giving him all my loving care

True, I had loved him once

So very, very long ago

My love for him had shone with brilliance

But now it leaves me hollow

Yesterday my best friend came to see me

We embraced as only good friends can

Although we didn’t want his girlfriend to see

If she did, he’d take it like a man

We walked for what seemed like forever

Talking about our recent pasts

I knew it wouldn’t be happily ever after

Because I know that nothing ever lasts

I had missed my best friend so dearly

I was happy to know that he missed me too

When we talked, it all came back clearly

And I asked myself, what am I to do?

Since it was cold outside we went into a store

Laughing and talking and making nonsense reality

Right then, I couldn’t have asked for more

I realized I’d have to handle this with frailty

Yesterday my best friend came to see me

He bought me a large box of candy

Although we didn’t want his girlfriend to see

He bought it and said “Happy Valentine’s Day” just to me
