I draw flowers for you to tell you I love you.
I draw them in hopes that they will never die
as my love for you will never die.
Even long after I am dead,
you will still have your flowers and my love.
I write poems for you to tell you I love you.
I write them in my own words
so that they will not quickly leave your memory,
as I pray my love will not quickly leave your memory.
Even long after I am dead,
you will still have these poems and my love.
I tell you every day that I love you.
I say it in my own voice, hoping you will hear
so that after I am dead,
you may remember my voice,
and I pray when you are sad or angry at my memory
you will remember also,
my flowers and my poems and my love.
