Unspoken

When you roll over

            You want me to scratch your back.

When I nudge your arm

            You put it around me.

When you go to the den

            You need to be alone.

When I go to the kitchen

            I want to be creative. 

I know when you want

            A banana sandwich

            More tea

            Affirmation.

You known when I need

            An extra compliment

            Ice cream

            A hug.

I say the things your heart should hear. 

You listen to my heart

            When I don’t say a word.

You love me.

I love you.

Don’t speak!

These things can be unspoken 

For they have been whispered

Through the years.
