I made a card for my wife today while she was out, and I wrote this for inside.

My Valentine

No one knows me so well as you,
knowing me as only you can do.
and you have been my very all,
my life’s blood, body, and soul.
While growing older you and I,
we’ve never let our joys slip by.
I cannot ever imagine any other,
as best friend, guide, and lover.

love is a keen edged possession,
being first forged in our passion
then later tempered by affection.
Yet love through all expressions,
gives to our lives its meaning.
And it is the love that we love by
that lets us know we’re loved thereby;
so, on this day my love I want to say:

Happy Valentine’s Day
