The greatest gift...

Life is indeed strange…
When you’re not looking…when you’re not searching…
There he was…out of nowhere…holding out his hand to you…
Come with me…he gestured to you…
Follow me…he seemed to say…
Is it a figment of your imagination?
Is your mind playing tricks on you?
You become confused…you hesitated…

Is he mad, you asked yourself…
You looked hard at yourself…
You looked at him…
You looked at yourself again…
Yes, that is what he is…he is mad you said to yourself…

Is he playing a prank on you, you can’t help asking yourself again…
You are not sure…you are not certain…
One thing you are sure of…
You are never going to let your guard down…
You are never going to let yourself down…
That’s what you think…that’s what you told yourself

Yet you took his hand…yet you let him lead you away…
Still uncertain…still unsure…

Like a chapter from your favourite Mills and Boon…
Like a beautiful dream embracing your silent nightly slumber…
A tall, dark, handsome man…
A knight in shining amour…
Dashing into your life…
Turning your life topsy turvy…

In your vulnerability…you tried to shoo him away…
In your vulnerability…you hurled hurtful words just so he will walk away…
…go away now, when you still have the chance…
…go away now, before it’s too late…

But that’s the strangest thing…
He wouldn’t budge no matter what…he swallowed all the bitter words…
He braved the storms ahead…he smiled at you still holding his hand out…
For he knew something which you did not know…
For he believed something which you did not believe…
He believes that there is you and him…
He believes in us…

Throwing all cautions into the wind…
Taking the whirlwind romance in your stride…
You took his hand…you hold it tightly…
You no longer want to let go…you no longer want him to let go…
You open up your heart…you let him come into your heart…
Be gentle with my heart…you implore silently…
Be kind with my heart…you plead quietly…
For I give you my heart wholeheartedly…
For I offer you my life commitment…

Babe…
Thank you for the music…

Luv,
your valentine
