You Don't Tell Me

You don’t tell me that I am funny
The way you laugh at my stories tells me so

You don’t tell me that I am intelligent
The way you talk with me tells me so

You don’t tell me that I am trustworthy
The way you bear your soul to me tells me so

You don’t tell me that I am compassionate
The way you share your darkest secrets tells me so

You don’t tell me that I am beautiful
The way you look at me tells me so

You don’t tell me that you want me
The way your arms feel around me tells me so

You don’t tell me that you need me
The way you say my name tells me so

You don’t tell me that you desire me
The way your lips taste when we kiss tells me so

You don’t tell me that you love me
The way you hold my hand tells me so

You don’t tell me that you cherish me
The way my heart skips a beat when you’re near tells me so

You don’t have to tell me that you are mine forever
The fact that you are still here tells me so
