A hug, a promise, a kiss
And a thousand things I miss
About caresses made in bliss
About your dulcet tenderness

About the way you take my hand
And how you help me understand
The essence of love, divine and pure
Isn't loud and doesn't shine
(Except in our own minds)

It walks softly
Touches softly
Speaks softly
Sings softly
Occurs softly
Feels softly
Teaches softly

And that is all I know
