Valentine - Wendy Cope


My heart has made its mind up

And I'm afraid it's you.

Whatever you've got lined up,

My heart has made its mind up

And if you can't be signed up

This year, next year will do.

My heart has made its mind up

And I'm afraid it's you.


- I love the rhythm of this poem, very witty, I love how her heart seems to have its own mind. It really is a battle sometimes between the head and the heart when it comes to love. She almost sounds like she's rationalising with her heart - yet she knows her heart is a force to be reckoned with - hence the repeated lines "My heart has made its mind up and I'm afraid it's you." Like it or not - the heart rules the head!
