Valentine © Copyright George Papavgeris, January 2002 In all the years that we have been together With chocolates and sweets I tried to woo The necklaces and rings would number dozens The roses that I bought would fill a room. But gold and silver tarnish as time passes And chocolate melts in an afternoon. The roses' perfume easily disperses And they don't help to demonstrate The permanence of what I feel for you. There's so much that is transient around us Relationships can flicker and can die. The children come, but soon to leave they're eager But all along you have been at my side. So I looked around for something that is solid To show you how my love cannot be moved. But nothing in a shop could ever help me For thoughts no shape or colour have My feelings no material can prove. And then at last I came to the conclusion The places I was looking were all wrong. The proper gift has no material substance So I looked into my heart, and found this song. For every song, once written, is immortal And in a song I find it hard to lie. So even if I'm called to higher portals You'll know that from this moment on Just like my love, this song will never die. |
