A Thank You on Valentine

Valentine day feels soft and strange,
A whispered “miss you” in disguise;
No roses left for hearts to change,
Just quiet truth behind my eyes.

I send no promises to stay,
No fragile dreams for us to try;
Only a gentle word today
I miss you… and goodbye.

Yet thank you for the love once I felt,
For every smile, for every sigh;
For though I walk this road until I knelt,
Your memory taught my heart to fly.
