Small 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 all be aware of how love dies
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 those time-worn phrases
Uttered in the heat of passion
