Valentine Chocolates

There was this heart shaped box of chocolates
That made me stop on my way home today.
The perfect thing to buy for you
To explain the words I cannot say.

Just one peek into the box—to smell—
I promise was all I meant to do;
Which made me realize in return
I would get nothing at all from you.

Not a rose or a solitary smile,
Maybe not even the slightest glace.
Could I be so bold to give this still?
Or should I even take the chance?

Now here is your box of chocolates,
I give them as I should.
An empty box of chocolates,
And boy they tasted good!
