Speaking Without Words

I don't always have the words
But my love always grows
It's hard to voice my feelings
So I'd bring you a rose

I would hold your hand
Write you a note
Or even go back
And read old letters we wrote

I would just sit next to you
To touch you or to talk
I might escort you outside
Just to take a walk

I start singing
Although it's off key
Just to make you
Start laughing at me

I would visit you at work
And smile as I leave
Listen to your good news
And hold you when you grieve

I might take you shopping
And walk with you into the store
Without slouching on the bench
Acting as if it's such a bore

When we're in bed at night
I let you cuddle close to me
So when I wake up in the morning
You're the first thing I see

Because I don't always have the words
All these things I do
It's just my way of saying
I truly love you

About this poem:
In a past relationship, I learned a valuable lesson: although "actions speak louder than words" sometimes words mean more and even put emphasis behind the action.
