love is

LOVE IS

smelly socks
my favorite dinner just because
hugging when i need it most
kisses when i least expect it
music for rhythms sake
passion for limber's sake
loving for the need of it
shoulders for the tears
truth for the breathless
space in time for silence
pencils cause i like it
dirty dishes, tubs and floors
conversations til daybreak
teasing til stomach's ache
fingertips touching because it's right
