Love Words
Love words can mean Real love or no love And everything in between And so it’s not the words. Could it be the deeds How we behave Everything we do And everything we don’t? Isn’t it the kindnesses Caring for, forgiveness of Or could it mean being close to Understanding of or countless others? “I love you” Is most deeply a feeling Then an activity And least of all words, And even the words Can stop the loving Or fail to reassure Or even push away But when the feelings Form the words Words are not merely heard But are seen and touched So without the feelings All the rest All that’s said and all that’s done Have nothing to do with loving.
