First and Last Valentine

After you came with my help
And I came with yours
For the first time
 
Hummers started from my mouth
An embarrassment I called it
Of helpless happiness
 
Which proved not contagious
Though I thought at least you
Would come down with it
 
The coughing and the fever
The sweet rushing blood
Of the disease of love
 
After you came with my help
And I came with yours
For the last time
