My Valentine – Kudzai Chireshe

My Valentine

I knew love when I met you

You the one who makes me tick

Tick like the clock on my hand

My hand, you hold gently

Gently, so much that I don’t want to let go

Let go, only my fears

Fears of being lonely

Loneliness has been a mystery

Ever since I met you

My  Valentine, my love
