Love Doesn't Require Things!

Please read very slow...............She said.....

I don't need your poetry
With words that rhyme.....
Just hold hands with me
From time to time

You don't need a reservation....
To keep in touch
Just say, you love me
That's good enough

I didn't hold my hand out
For your golden ring
Just to feel your hand in mine
Means everything....

I don't need your diamonds, 
Fancy gifts and such
Just say, you love me
That's good enough

Chorus:
You don't have to be a Shakespeare
Or another Hemingway.....
Those words. that you're thinking
Just write them... in your eyes and on your face

I don't need a recitation
Before you feel my touch
Just say you love me
That's good enough

Chuck, I think this is your best write that I've seen, perfect phraseology and flow and rhyme. This would be easy to set music to, I can already hear it in my head. Send it off to Nashville, it's that good!

My thanks to you John! Your comment is so appreciated! I have the complete song finished and will hopefully get around to posting it? Wouldn't it be great if the soup had a melody or music category? We could tune for the moon or b flat in the round! Write on John!!

Perfect in every way!!! Love isn't material things- holding one close. It is an emotion so deep and strong!!! Very much so! I wish to save this in my favorites. Beautiful words from the heart. ~ Brandy
