Analysis of Valerie
Jamison S. Missler 1073 (Ft. Lauderdale, Fl) – 2020 (Houston, Tx)
I have someone here in the back of my mind
It seems like she's there all of the time
Telling me things that I need to hear
Saying I love you and I'll always be near
My mind is blank, I m lost and cannot see
I m in a daze all the time thinking about Valerie
I see us both together alone late at night
I kiss you, caress you and hold you very tight
I feel so warm so soft and lazy
One touch from you and it drives me crazy
I tell myself it's plain to see
I m having a dream about Valerie
It's not a dream you are truly there
All I need you to know, is that I really care
I want and need you in every way
And these feelings grow stronger every day
My love is a river flowing to the sea
Gushing with emotions for you, my Valerie
