I'm sending this to you
in secret
to tell you of the
woman
who loves you.

I feel that you
should know a few things...
that she would never
tell you
herself.

To begin with,
She loves yellow roses.
But she hates
roses without a reason.

Second,
She really does
think of you all day
and sometimes
in her sleep.

Holding her hand
will do very nicely
but
holding her heart
will do better.

She wants to be pretty
and doesn't know how
so she pretends to be
gorgeous
instead.

When she changes the subject
it isn't for spite
it's because
the thought of you
is distracting.

She buys Valentines Cards
before Febuary
and can't barely wait
to send it.

She wants to touch
you
and wants to be
touched...
she feels so safe
when you hold her.

She makes you think
and wonder and puzzle
but loves it
when you do the same.

I'm sending this
to you
so you know how to
love her
and remember,
it will be returned.

Sappy or not, I like it.   Wish I'd known how to say this to a couple of people in my life.  Well done!

Oh, but sappy is the best kind!  This is wonderful, Saxoness!  Love it!
