The Gift


Flowers and candy and cards, these are not presents that capture my heart.

Of course, they are nice in a distant way but don't fill my needs at the end of each day.

There's only one thing that satisfies me; it's something from you that I can get for free.

It's like a long-stemmed rose, in a bulb-shaped vase. I can feel it grow as it fills a special place.

I don't have to read it, I know it's lines by heart. Hallmark doesn't have it, it's a natural work of art.

No, don't give me things- that's not what I need. I'll take a piece of you and I'll give you a piece of me.
