Love Is a Slice of Bread

Love is a slice of bread
Hatred is a piece of cake

You love cakes, but gain no benefit
Except fulfilling your desire when you eat

Love is a glass of water
Necessary to be blunt

You need no flavour for your tongue 
Tired from too many different tastes

I just hold your hand when you look at me
Love is expressed in daily manners

Love is a cup of tea
Presented in a simple cup

Thank you. I wanted write about love expressed in simple manners. But I am so happy about your comment "Your ending is very powerful."
