Forever Valentine

Like bare hands on horse skin drums
My heart beats
Faster than a hungry cheetah
Harder than bamboo sticks
My mind can tell no longer

My mind,for I have no mind
Yet still a soul and surely a heart
For it races at these words i hear
Now he's asking me, I would swear
To become his own
And let my heart be his throne
For he speaks of love and Valentine
And his speech and gaze still the time

That this day should pass no longer
That this feeling may cease no further
That eternity stops for all eternity
That he may gaze on all my beauty

For my head swirls in reply
As I recall the Valentine
And my one question is why
We cannot have Valentine everyday
