Clasped hands

Easy touches

My head in your lap

Soft words

Loud laughs

Perhaps this is what love is

Secrets uttered

No hesitation

Years piled in one look

Understanding

No jury

Just my best friend

 

Who needs lips for kissing

When you have them for whispers

For this love

This partnership

Needs no romance

It is this that holds strong

When all else fails

Lovers leave

Lovers fall

But this

Is as true

As the moon to the tide

As the clouds to rain

As you to I
