Love Language

The way I express love may seem strange,

Compared to the way you give yours.

Some might demand for change,

While yelling & slamming their doors.

Your relationships will fill with gratitude,

If you allow your mind to expand.

You’ll have a big shift in attitude,

Taking steps to appreciate & understand.

Saying “I love you” on a willful note,

Falls under WORDS OF AFFIRMATION.

They will cherish all that you wrote,

And recognize your deep adoration.

Reserving space to share intimate details,

Falls under QUALITY TIME.

Swapping many personal tales,

Showing up for this lover is prime.

Choosing an item to mirror your love,

Falls under RECEIVING GIFTS.

Helping remember what lies above,

Dissolving all of your tiffs.

Easing burdens to make life more sunny,

Falls under ACTS OF SERVICE.

Simply making some tea with honey,

Can make this person less nervous.

Bursting sensations as hands intertwine,

Falls under PHYSICAL TOUCH.

Feeling chills run down your spine,

Hugging & kissing so much.

Appreciating a language can help grow,

And foster intimate connections.

Relationships unlike the status quo,

Dropping all of your own projections.

Accepting a different form of expression,

Can be a tough practice to apply.

But imagine a world with less suppression,

And let’s try to see eye to eye.
