Unanswered,
yes, a question of mine,
that falls to the floor as you sit in front of the fire,
and the flames rise higher,
and you sit there enthralled,
and as you do I watch you,
with the flames reflected in your eyes,
and I wonder you,
and I wonder where you are lost in that world of yours,
and I smile,
I smile at you,
and as I do, you catch me looking at you,
from out of the corner of your eye,
and I,
I lean forwards and kiss you and you smile,
a smile so bright,
a smile like a million smiles in one that warm my heart,
and that fill me up with light,
yes, light so bright,
and as you do, you kiss me so tenderly too,
kisses that will linger upon my lips,
long after I have passed out into the night,
and I do not ask if you are happy again,
because judging by the look in your eyes,
it is obvious that you are,
because you are filled with delight,
and though I,
I am loathe to leave you to head out into the winter snows, that blow so cold around on such a dark night,
I ask for one more kiss please,
one more kiss please I say,
and you, you oblige,
and you kiss me again,
and I cuddle you and hold you so close,
and then say goodbye,
but it is only for a short while,
and so, I head out the door without a sigh,
and I carry you in my heart and in my mind,
the vision of you by the fireside,
with that smile upon your face,
as the bitter winter wind,
it bites at me and tries to freeze me to death,
as you sit happily beside the fireside,
and I, I walk through the winter snows,
to the shop to fetch several bottles of wine,
and the food it continues to cook in the oven,
and I carry the thought of you,
as the snow it tries to chill me through and through inside,
but no, it will not have time, because in no time,
I will be back home again,
kissing you and cuddling you by the fireside,
whilst we drink glasses of wine,
oh, my valentine,
oh, my valentine,
how you warm my heart even in the winter snows,
for no cold can make me unhappy,
with you in my heart and in my mind.
Oh, my valentine,
my darling valentine,
how I love you,
how I love you so,
and you love me too,
and how beautiful you look, beside the fireside,
with the flames reflected in your eyes,
and I will be home soon covered in snow I know,
but I do not mind,
and soon we will be,
back together again,
drinking wine,
romancing by the fireside.
