The Words I Would Write

Location

If I wrote you a thank-you letter

For every smile you've put 

On these small pink lips

They'd have to cut down 

A tree for each one

For the words I would write

To explain how these muscles 

Curl with every mention of your name

Would be too intricate

For a single sheet of blank paper

Describing the emotions

That came with every grin

Would take years and years

And pages after white, crisp pages

No, decades

Each flash of bright white

And creamy red

And soothing blue

That popped in my mind

Like fireworks of pure passion 

That colour my brown and grey

Canvas of thoughts

Would be a burst of one emotion

An altogether overwhelming feeling

Of you.
