When Flowers Speak
when I give you flowersit means thank you
for all you are to me
for all you do for me
have done for me
thanks for being you
I say it with flowers
because the words
just won't come out right
and when I see the joy
in your eyes
when I give you flowers
I know you heard them speak
when I give you flowers
it means sorry
for all I did and didn't do
for all I said and didn't say
because words could never
express my sadness
that you hurt because of me
but when I see your eyes glisten
and the glimmer of a smile
trying to escape
I know that you
forgive
when I give you flowers
it means I love you
because I never tell you
and you may think
that I don't care
but when I see my love
reflected in your eyes
when I give you flowers
I know you understand
that one day I won't need flowers
to speak my words for me
but I'll give them to you anyway
because...well...just because
