There is no contest
No need to test
Pointless trying to protect
Doesn't have to impress
Or wear particular dress
Just by being there
Showing compassionate care
Physical attraction
Cuddle chain reaction
No promises required
When it speaks with the eyes
With the passing days
Be thankful for the rays
Of sun for being with someone
And know a gift of life
Not a word like husband or wife
The reality of love
Words are not enough
The rewards and the dreams
Life matters when it seems
We do too
