When love is unaccompanied
by words and intuitive touch,
the recipient may feel something,
but it won't be anything much.

It won't be security's blanket.
It won't be safety's net.
It won't be iron clad's guarantee.
It won't be surety's bet.

Love requires so little of you.
It asks not for perfection.
It only requests a spoken word
and a touch, to make a connection.
