The Things I Know

The Things I Know

I know the state capital of Florida
I know twenty different kinds of dinosaurs
I know that Jupiter is made of gas

I know that you can’t hold your breath for more than three minutes.
I know that the sky is blue only to humans
I know why you should never give orchids as a gift

I know that dogs are loyal
I know how to hold babies
I know why you should always bring a handkerchief

I know why you were crying that day
I know why your smile is beautiful
I know why I get lost in your eyes

I know that I shouldn’t have fallen in love with you
I don’t know how to stop
I don’t know how I can forget

  Kinda geeky actually. Orchids come from the Greek word orchis which means testicle. The Greeks were funny people because they kinda thought orchids look like balls. So when someone gives you an Orchid, he’s saying that I’m giving you my balls.
