valentine dance
      ********************

        smoking my cigarette to the filter
            ignoring all those female staring smiles
            finding myself lonely in the crowd
            feeling through the rings of smoke
            the warmth on my cheeks and neck
            the old wish
            sleeping with your eyes tonight

            still don't know your name
            couldn't find yet an image
            to put upon your face
            but even my burning fingers
            couldn't make me escape from you
