Analysis of These Words
These words I write in love for you
wrapped in delicate ribbons of blue
these words for you are so confined
enclosed in friendship of a power divine
one day all hearts shall intertwine
but today I submit this heart of mine
these words I write in love for you
wrapped in delicate ribbons of blue
with feels absolute and true

About this poem
written to a person that didn't know I was a friend. To a person that had many issues going on. I never had a chance to tell him in person, so I wrote this poem.
