How do they all express it to her if not with flowers and
candy?
Do they kiss and caress day in and day out, finger her curls,
the buttons on her blouse, touch her lips with the tips of their fingers?
Is that all what love is, these outward signs and signals?
Or is there more to be had than can be found between the
bedposts, some comfort felt, but not expressed, an arm around her shoulder that
does not lead to his hands upon her breasts?
What is it that she waits for when a love expresses love,
what message can he send that is no coupled with Cupid’s arrows?
Can love be found between the words and actions, those deep
silences that seem endured when they are really endearing?
