Once i had a secret love
I sent him a single white rose
card with simple message
three little words.

Come what may
he looked at me
talked to me
told me all.

The inner person
he did not see
loving him quietly
for many a year.
crying a silent tear.

You always tried to guess
who loved you so much
I am here,under your nose
I sent the single white rose.

You confided in me
saw you dream
fantasise
of who it could be.

You tore at my heart
no idea it's me
I am the woman
you hold in your dreams.

Another year
your none the wiser
what will you do
when you find out.

You fondle the rose
like fondling my skin
see your fingers
caress each petal.

I feel the warm glow
for one day a year
you are mine
my own sweet
valentine.
