Valentine

What can you say in a love poem
that hasn't been said before?

How twenty years ago today
I loved someone waiting
three thousand miles away?

And how that sweet Valentine
hit the mark anyway?

Or now, how our dreams
continue on their ever-changing course, our love itself another constant proved?
