Love

I speak of mind numbingly kisses

Life changing walks

Mushy and heartfelt talks

With little substance, lots of laughter

Of heartbreaking good nights

And riveting dreams

I speak of more than the kisses

Beyond the words and the gifts

I speak of mutual understanding

I speak of undeserved forgiveness

For when all the passion burns out

And all the clothes are on

And the toilet sit up, all left

Is a conscious effort to please

The thoughtful notes on the fridge

All that would be left

Is the friendship that exists
