Simple Love


Simple Love

 

A healthy relationship starts inside

where the heart and soul reside

Not with words or promises or gifts

But with love and care that lifts

Because to love is to be a thief

of one's heart, and to keep it too

but how to keep it the thief has no clue

It is simple love that holds the heart

And that's where a healthy relationsip is to start

 

To laugh together is to love together

Playing scrabble in stormy weather

Walking and talking

and talking and walking

one realizes what the other means

to him or her, almost simultaneously

Both see the difference when

the other isn't there and then

The one says "I'm at my best when I'm with you"

To which the other replies "For me too this is true"

Because simple love is what holds the heart

and that's where a healthy relationship is to start
