Dear Brooke,
It's not about two soloists, but creating harmony that fits each other and fills the blanks. This was a very charming musical Valentine--Ted

This is a great poem. I'm telling you, you should write for Hallmark. This would be a perfect poem for a Valentine's Day card. Great job!

Miss Cookie, thank you so much :-) Sawyer is the only child. Nora is the five year old whom my daughter Miranda nannies. She has told everyone since before he was born that he is her little brother :-) Brooke

It's such fun watching them both grow up.

Your poem has fine rhyme and even tempo, good use of enjambment and alliteration( hold within my heart has;duets designed;complete my song's creation; for this favor)

I particularly enjoyed the flow-on effect of your enjambment between lines in this. The musical metaphor is a particularly apt one as it emphasises the reciprocal nature and team effort that characterise true and lasting love.

Hello Brooke,
Nice piece of Romance Poetry beautifully depicting a lover's sincere feelings!
Wording is simple, impressive and perfectly matching the theme.
Spontaneous and captivating flow from top to bottom.
Lovely rhyming scheme and lively imagery.
The most remarkable lines are:
"I realize it might seem bold
to ask you for this favor,
but in exchange I promise you
my love will never waver."
Trustworthy Promise.
Excellent and Best of Luck!

What a beautiful valentine song! And such a meaningful message too ,very apt for this 'me and myself' and selfie generation.Sawyers smile tugged at my heart strings creating a sweet inner melody.A strong contender for the contest.
