if there are five love languages
i am fluent
and you...
you could never speak
number one: words of affirmation
i never stopped affirming
"you matter”
“i believe in you”
you could never accept
number two: acts of service
when you were hungry,
i gave you food
but when i was starving for your love
you could never feed me
number three: receiving gifts
from me, you received
the dancing bears
for your coldest nights
you could never wear it
number four: quality time
in our time together
you were given
my undivided attention
you could never attend
number five: physical touch
i gave you my heart,
my body
selflessly, unconditionally
you could never touch me
if there are five love languages,
i am chomsky
and you...
you could never speak
