last night I thought of you and me <br />the days we spent together <br />and the tears we saved all the years <br /> <br />let me tell you this secret <br />deep inside my heart <br />I’ve kept a little box <br />it is a box of memories <br />I created about you <br /> <br />any time I miss your presence <br />I retrace my steps <br />looking for footprints of you and me <br />on trails in the park and in the sand-dunes at the playground <br />sometimes, I look for your smiles <br />that are engraved on the petals of the flowers <br />that always hang on the door at Christmas <br />that was when our love was full of memories <br /> <br />really, all these bring me tears <br />when I look inside the box <br />the box of memories inside my heart <br />that I created about you <br /> <br />sometimes, there are stories I want to share <br />to tell you, you are the song in my heart <br />that I couldn’t sing <br />the rhythms in my heartbeat <br />and the footprints on my soul that I could hardly erase <br /> <br />all these I have kept <br />deep inside a little box <br />a box of memories <br />I created about you <br /> <br />I wish tonight I could tell it all <br />in your presence with a shout of ululations <br />to let the world know <br />you are the only one <br />my only Valentine<br /><br />Padmore Enyonam Agbemabiese<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/happy-valentine-day/
