All the words I want you to know

All the flowery 

All the beautiful 

All the confusing and complicated

All the words I hope you'll know

I hope the words don't become

All the words I wanted you to know

Instead, let them be 

All the words I can't wait for you to know

All the words I try to write in 

All these poems I keep writing for you
