My Valentine,

You had me the moment you bought me a drink,

The sharp taste of alcohol burning my throat

All crushed ice and glass and the spinning of my head.

You had me the moment we shared our first kiss,

Your strawberry lip balm mingling with my mint breath

All full lips and tongues and your hands on my hips.

You had me the moment you took me back to your flat,

Throwing away my boots and my bra,

All soft touches and lace and not very much air.

You had me the moment we stayed up till 4am,

Whispering secrets, our noses inches apart,

All big eyes and quiet laughter and soft voices.

You had me then, and you have me now.

My Valentine,

All buzzing and glowing and mine.
