Literary: You are Not My Valentine

I love the way
Your hands caress
The tips of my fingers
As you nudge my hand
To feel the warmth of yours

I love the way
Your forehead turns
Into a crease
When you doubt the things
That seem out of our reach

I love the way
You hold my gaze
And pin my soul to place
As we laugh and fill the cracks
Of this little world we’ve made

I love the way
You speak of your love
As you part your lips
And slowly mouth
My name

But

It is not your name
That fills the void in my lips
It is not your gaze
That I long to hold
It is not your worries
That I yearn to ease
It is not your hands
That I desire to touch


It is not you
That I love
