broke your fall

So I had two Valentines today: Renee and Steven. My girlfriend and my boyfriend. After Steven miraculously showed up at my house and helped me get my car out of the snow, he and Renee showed up later with a bunch of tulips and a card. Here's what the card said:

You make my toes curl!
You make my thoughts swirl!
You make my eyes twinkle!
You make my sheets wrinkle!

(inside) You make my days sing!
You are my everything!

And it played "Wild Thing" when I opened it. Great. Renee's note said, "My dear Walter, you complete me and I love you :) Happy Valentine's Day! love, Clyde P.S. We really do wrinkle the sheets ;)" Underneath it, Steven's note said, "Oh Susannah! You fulfill my every hope and dream. You paint the stars in my sky and hang the moon in the night. You put a perfect crease in my sheets. Happy Valentine's Day! Love, Steven."

Um, great. I really love them a lot.

They tell me there’s songs reserved for angels
Would you sing me one, a stranger
Just to prove your love?
They tell me you’ve given poor men kingdoms
And handed guilty freedom
And taken on their stains
And your love will never change
Your love will never change
They tell me that you dwell with good and evil
In alleys and cathedrals
Shadows and the light
They tell me that you hold the world together
Not from guilt, but pleasure
And you somehow know my name
And your love will never change
Your love will never change
So tell me there’s nothing that you can’t do
And you’ll love me though I’ve hurt you
And that you’ll take my blame
And your love will never change
Your love will never change
