Rhymes, Romance, and Rosebud.

2007
February the 14th again, Valentine’s day, what was I going to do for Dan this year? Same as usual, I guess. Every year, since we started dating, he’d sing me a song, and I’d write him a poem. Hmm, what to put down this time? This was always the problem for me, I was desperate to write it myself, but not exactly the most rhythmically gifted person on the planet.   Oh well, here goes nothing.

I have no cash,
all I can give,
Is all my love,
as long as I live.

Take my heart,
it’s yours I swear,
I love you more,
than you’re aware.

Hmm, not brilliant, but the best I can do. I hope to god he likes it.

2008

Valentine’s day again, same old, same old. What rubbishy rhyme can I do this time? Here we go.

I give to you,
A heart that’s true.
It’s you I love,
My little dove.

Say you’ll be mine,
as I am thine,
before I slip into a decline,
say you’ll be my Valentine.

Another silly rhyme, thank goodness the phan’s don’t see these.

2009

On more into rhyme time, once more. Valentine’s poem, here I come.

The heart I give to you, was broken,
It remains my only token.
Keep it safe, and guard it well,
That life and love may grow and swell.

That’s another one done. Please the gods of malteasers that he likes this as much as the other soppy offerings from previous years.

2010

Here we go, another Valentine’s day, another soppy rhyme. Deep breath now, Phil, off you go.

I give to you a loving heart,
You’re more to me than Mario Kart.
If it’s a choice you or Skyrim,
The games can go into the bin.

Oh, help, well, nothing more I can do now, just …fingers crossed and pray.

2011

Dan my boy, my best friend ever,
I will stay with you forever.
Up until my dying day,
my love for you won't fade away.

You are my life, my light, my dream,
you are all I need on my team.
Without you, it's dark and cold,
With you here, I will grow old.

Shitty I know, but, oh well.


2012

I see you every day,
We live together, come what may.
Good times together ever more,
With the one that I adore.
I love you, Daniel Howell,
Let’s go watch some Simon Cowell.

Ew! Gross, WHAT did I just write? Yuck.

2013

Special one now, come on Lester, get with it this year!

They say that you are what you eat,
No wonder that you are so sweet.
We’ve flatted now for years my dove,
And all that time you’ve been my love.

I ask a question now of you,
(my heart’s beating ticketyboo).
Will you give to me your hand?
Will you, please, be my husband?

I love you Danny, from Phil.

*next day*

What a stroke of inspiration that trip to Starbucks, I was petrified, but I don’t think he knew anything until I set his coffee, pie, poem and rose bud ring box in front of him.

AND HE SAID YES! God, this s the best day of my life. We decided that we’ll get married next Valentine’s day. I’m the happiest man alive at the moment.

THE END.
