If one were to love
would it be shown
walking shoulder to shoulder
with hands intertwined?
Would it be stepping in unison
with softened eyes looking forward?
Would it be chatter of hopeful
days last visited?
Or musings
of days yet to come?
Would it be ears held attentive
to unspoken needs?
Would it be dressing in daily best
to please the eyes of the other?
Would it be watching the food intake
to flatter the figure?
Would it bestanding or sitting with
lifted chin and shoulders back
to show yourself he has your back?
I’ve got the practice that.
