You’re gentle and kind
Your love is divine
Your breath is what keeps me alive
The touch of your skin
From the brush of your hand
Knots me again and again
When I’m not feeling touchy
It’s your smile that undoes me
And keeps me from drifting away
At times I am distant
But know that I’m listening
To all the words you have to say
So keep this in mind
When I can’t find the time
To express love in all of these ways
