Everlasting

You never promised me a diamond
You never swooned me with control
You never swore to me you’d never leave
Or one day walk out that door

You never said how much you needed me
nor complained when I felt blue
You just held me close and kissed my head
Knowing those days I needed you

You quietly stand beside me
You hold me silently without despair
You never question me when I walk out that door
Yet I still know how much you care

The deeper that our bond seals
Without much intention from you or I
Proves how I know our love is pure
Everlasting throughout time

Yes, love in its pure form demands of us neither labour nor testimonies to make herself known... Beautiful thought eloquently expressed.
