What if it rained?

We didn't care

She said that someday soon

The sun was gonna shine

And she was right

This love of mine,

My Valentine

As days and nights

Would pass me by

I tell myself that I was waiting for a sign

Then she appeared

A love so fine,

My Valentine …

….the lines from his album track “My Valentine” floats over you recalling moments of oneness on a fine breeze.

If only my love was here

I'd be taking the time to feel it

Washing over my body and soul

If only my love, only my love was here

I wish that my heart was strong

I'd be letting it beat, much faster

At the thought of you holding me near

I wish that my heart, wish that my heart was strong….

….yet another lines from his song Only Our Hearts absorbs the love and pain in his voice.
