THE LANGUAGE OF LOVE

Born dumb, as it grows, love finds a voice  
A gentle smile, a tender touch.  
Lips move and fragile hearts rejoice 
Love speaks so clearly, pretty much.

It starts with a long glance  
Across a table in a bar or restaurant
Grows into an exchange of smiles, a soft dance
With no words uttered, but hearts understand.

Sweet notes of love in messages texted 
Each word bearing a kiss, each line a friend.  
Suddenly, a close touch is sought 
Continuous visits, gifts bought.

Love speaks but a language  
Only lovers understand.  
Even when words are not uttered
The other's emotions are buttered.
