The words "I love you"
Doesn't mean anything
But the soft touches against
My hand everyday, and
The fact you can remember
My birthday without a calendar
Does mean something.

The phrase "I'll never leave you"
Doesn't mean anything
But when you give me flowers
On a random day, and you know
My favorite color is green, a forest green
Does mean something.

The smile on your face
Doesn't mean anything
But when you are cautious
And remember I don't like
Physical contact without permission
That means something
