I don’t need words to realize
how much I mean to you
There’s nothing on this grieving earth
that love can’t bear us through.
I don’t need words to hear or know
your soul’s call to my heart
Together we construct a whole
alone, a fractured part.
I don’t need words to feel or sense
the love you have for me
Partner, brother, confidante
by fortune and destiny.
I don’t need words to discern or grasp
your mind, your sense, your thoughts
A glance, a nod, a trace, a smile
bitter lessons life has taught.
I don’t need words to restore or atone
when the world demands it’s due
I only need the healing
that comes from knowing you.
THE END
