Description
It crossed my mind to tell you I love you,and then it crossed again.
The third time it did not cross but sat
in the only chair. The room was bare.
After sitting a while it rose and left,
only to return again
with arms full of flowers, another chair,
and a table set for two.
I love you. Come in.

So touching, and such an unusual approach to the progression of a thought! I love it.

If you're going to tell them, do it well, but do it soon; never assume they know or let an opportunity go unused and wasted. It's the most important thing.

That is absolutely true. I remember a moving passage in a novel I read long ago - can't say who wrote it at the moment though it will come to me in time - asking the question of why we withhold affection from those we care about the most. It hit me like a hammer.

Spend as much time as possible in the blue, then.

those little things that come out of the blue definitely have to be put to paper ... i am a bit lenient in this regard ...
it is a fine piece of writing, indeed.

Interesting consept
You use expressions and images in ways that most people would never think of, making you poem original and different.
Well done
