My Heart Goes
/My heart wants to go
where the world
fits in my pocket,
hanging on my sleeve
on a rainy day with you
when nothing else matters
except this river of laughter
that flows between us
over all the years
we never knew
that you and I
would share these
hidden treasures,
in full measure.
After all the scars
that we suffered
in order to find
each other, we finally
learned the one thing
we always knew:
that home is where
the heart goes and
mine goes and goes
and goes right to you
and when it does,
the world fits
in my pocket
and wet sleeves
do not stop it
and all that matters
is this river of laughter
that flows between us
over all the years
because you
are my hidden treasure
and I love you
in full measure
as my heart
goes and goes and
goes right to you.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
May a river of laughter flow
between you and those you love
and may your hearts go and go
and go to each other!
