Analysis of Happy Valentine’s Day
Cynthia novotny 1984 (Wilmington de)
I give you my heart
So keep it with care
Don’t break it into two
But show me how much
That you truly really care
For my heart is fragile
When it comes to breaking
So always hold it near you
For I know that you’ll protect it
I’m proud and glad to say
You have my heart
For love is in the air
Where the sparks fly
I thought I would write
Just to let you know
Of how much that I care
On this Valentine’s Day
I hope you take this to heart
And really truly understand
Of what this is all about
For I have three words to say
“I love you “
