Certain Things Set In Stone

How do you show affection?
That you care?
Is it a touch,
or an exaggerated hug ?

Is it the way you kiss my lips?
Or is it the way your hand strokes mine?
Is it the way our hearts beats as one when we’re close together
or is it when we make eye contact?

How do you explain affection?
A complex word for love?
Or just a synonym?

And where does it start?
First time you talk?
First time you’re in bed?

You know what I think?
I think affection
starts with
a simple
exchange
of
smiles.

I believe that life started with a smile.
