Valentines Day...
the day of love, of passion.
But that's what everyone wants to think,
it's what everyone want it to be.
I watched as the whole concept fell,
it fell shattered at my feet,
like the pieces of my heart.
I tried putting the pieces back together,
but they slowly melted in my hands, like snow.
The snow turned into rain,
the rain turned into the tears i weep,
i cry.
But I'm still standing here,
I'm still here waiting for you...
for you to put me back together again.
