I didn't feel too well today so when you went to work -
- your Orchid Man slid back into his welcoming sheets to rest
Perhaps this feeling is because I insisted on another helping of dinner
Let's face it sweetheart, you can make a piece of brown bread look like a steak!
Honey, I am sure when you come home I will be up and waiting for you
The very thought of holding you in my arms is the tonic I need to feel better
To see your face light up as I open the door to you will make my body become so excited
And....this present loneliness will shake its head and creep away to another unsuspecting body.
Lying here my eyes focus on your beautiful photograph and a few tears form in my eyes
To make a human attempt at describing beauty is so simple - for you are that beauty -
- yes Orchid Lady as I look at you now I feel your wonderful green eyes looking back at me
I see your beautiful face and that necklace you always wear; and already I feel slightly better.
I laugh quietly to myself when I think of the times you have told me how ugly you are
Sweetheart, if you are ugly then I want to look at you for every second of each day
I have closed my eyes and pray that the clock's hands stop running round its face -
- no my love, you are not ugly; in fact you are as pretty as any fresh flower could be.
As I lie here looking at you my mind travels once again into the history we have shared
How many times I picture you as you were on that day we first met - such perfection!
If you were here right now I would hold you so close to me and know I would be in Heaven above
My Orchid, right now you are making me feel so well and happy but I will lay here for awhile.
I don't believe this! All of a sudden a wonderful warmth has come over my body and I feel so well
I'm sure it is your love coming back home to share itself with my own love for you -
- no wonder your animal friends, your flowers and that green forest look out for you each day
My love, I have a secret to tell your photograph - I look out for you too because I love you.
