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
