With These Flowers

With these flowers, I hope I've put a smile on your face
With these flowers, I hope I've made your heart whistle a symphony
With these flowers, I hope you're yearning for the warmth of my caress
With these flowers, I hope you now realize that I take you seriously
With these flowers, I hope you'll lift the veil that conceals your soul

With these flowers, I pray that you're willing to meet me halfway
With these flowers, I pray that you can clearly hear my heartbeats
With these flowers, I pray that I've convinced you how much I care for you
With these flowers, I pray that you'll give me a fighting chance
With these flowers, I pray that you're now thinking of me, as I'm doing of you

With these flowers, perhaps you'll reciprocate in kind
With these flowers, perhaps you'll finally lower your defenses
With these flowers, perhaps sparks I light will eventually start a flame
With these flowers, perhaps  a slow river of passion will finally rage
With these flowers, perhaps a bud of love will someday sprout
