The winds blew silently against her
Dress swayed, like ripples in the sea
She stood there, in the twilight
Enjoying life, unbothered, carefree
All he could see in the darkness
Were her six red balloons, in the sky
He thought about calling out to her
But all he could do was just sigh
Wondering if he should approach her
The thoughts in his head turned to mush
It would be another Valentine’s Day, spent alone
He’d have to dream, about his mystery crush
