She sends me the most beautiful letters

In hallmark cards with pictures of flowers

Showing up when I least expect

Showing up when I'm a man in need


Pastel hues, the colors she favors

Soft crimson blues above all the others

A faint hint of Arabian jasmine

Pulls deep at the passion in me


Holds me close like a Bilie Holiday album

Gives all she has like a solider undaunted

My love for her is all that I'm left with

Captivating the soul inside of me
