Nuances

Used to think love was just for the young

Nay! nay! Love never really ends

It's a built in response to the opposite sex

To great heights you still can ascend

We must be aware how easy love can die

Needs nurturing every single day

It can be as simple as a touch of the hand

Or the tender soft words you say

Sometimes a caress of a loved one's hair

A cuddle when someone is sad

It needn't always be passionate love play

Small nuances and love can be had

Small things can actually go unnoticed

But if it's an enduring attraction

They mean more than all those time worn phrases

Uttered in the heat of passion
