It’s funny how time controls our fate

It’s automatic so we don’t have to wait

A lone voice inside told me what to do

Like the toss of a coin I went and called you

I thought what to say and would it sound smart

As I lamented in quiet for our long time apart

You said hello and my problems were few

There was a dream to now speak to you

There’s no right way to express how I feel

Without a fallout that could be surreal

Love is the topic and I must confess

The feelings thumping within my chest

Hasn’t your sky been a wonderful blue

I needed a friend and my present was you

Unknown to me was a person in need

With you in my mind I would promptly succeed

It’s taken my thoughts almost an hour

And the right feelings to pick this flower

To give to the one that has always cared

About the laughs that we’ve had and shared

So without any further adieu

I must tell you that I love you

I need you to know that our friendship is strong

May the chains that bond us bear time all day long

Please forgive my actions for they have been sudden

Please don’t turn away in a fury of rage

Please don’t shun my action and lock it in a cage

You’ve been the sun after the planned spring shower

As for the carnation that I picked, you are my flower
