I knew that there was more to love
than just a passing sigh.
Tender words without the thoughts
are naught unless your nigh.
Endearments have a time and place,
when touching someone's heart,
but like a role, performed with soul,
rehearsed without the part.
Feelings must be greater than
mere whispers on your mind.
A patient smile or sweet caress,
should not be pressed to find.
A special niche be set aside,
to they, whom you adore.
Be aware of all their needs,
for love is nothing more.
