Wrapped

My love was wrapped into gestures Instead of words Into concerns and nagging Teasing and smiling The sigh I gave in fondness Whenever you pouted over something When I remembered what mattered Beyond days and nights The favorite coffee, the way you slept Not the product name But I knew your soap smell My love was wrapped into doing Instead of saying Leaving an extra blanket An umbrella, a small question Sparing a smile when I did not feel like Pulling you tight, it will be alright Patting your head in praise Letting you stay or go Whatever will let your rise My love was wrapped bittersweet Instead of angel like You had to look to find The sugary parts Taste it thoroughly before Leaving a mark It carried a tinge that will last Beyond the first touch Like a faded mingle in future Of a memorable past.
