Happy Valentine's Day

I forgot the ticking clock,
Swearing to myself this time last year,
I would never hear,
A whispered wish of love,
Not again,
I couldn't take it,
The disappointment,
The pain,
But you called me up,
And just listening to you,
So casually asking,
Reminding me of that hour,
That same ticking clock,
And when I turned away to check,
This once broken heart that forgot,
What day it was,
Remembered again when you said,
"Happy Valentine's Day."
I swear I couldn't love you more.
