A broken heart can heal.
A BROKEN VALENTINE

A broken heart is what you sent to him
with that letter you returned in the mail.
The future to him was then looking dim,
not expecting his valentine to fail.
~
He had written, “I love you my sweetheart”,
just as - so often he had penned before.
Her answer was, the time had come to part,
She had changed and did not love him anymore.
~
With tear filled eyes on love he closed the door.
He thought their feelings would forever last.
Believed he could not love another more
but now that's all in the far distant past.
~
He saw a pretty girl right here today
and “Be my Valentine I heard him say”
