I wanted you to be my valentine
because you always made me feel like I was on cloud nine.
But, I guessed you had different plans
when I came across you making out with one of your 'fans'.
I watched both of you as my eyes filled with water.
Each minute got even fonder.
Jealously gripped my heart like a monster,
making the tears that flowed down my cheeks stronger.
The rose I had in my hand slowly died.
So did my body my soul and my pride.
I was going to ask you out to the restaurant.
But, when I saw you with him it was like I didn't have a warrant.
I pulled my phone out of my pocket and dialed your number.
I watched closely and you ignored me and returned to your lover.
To you, I felt like a complete stranger
On the other hand, you were being quite my entertainer.
This was supposed to be the night I gave you lots of chocolate.
Instead, I walked into the bar feeling like an alcoholic.
My life seemed like it didn't matter,
and my tears had me feeling like I was drowning underwater.
This sure was a battle for the courageous.
Until I opened my eyes and regained being conscious
I realized it was just a dream that I was believing.
I then wiped the tears from my eyes and wondered
"Why is my mind so deceiving?"
