    I don't need words to realize
   how much I mean to you
   There's nothing on this grieving earth
   that love can't bear us through.

   I don't need words to hear or know
   your soul's call to my heart
   Together we construct a whole
   alone, a fractured part.

   I don't need words to feel or sense
   the love you have for me
   Partner, brother, confidante
   by fortune and destiny.

   I don't need words to discern or grasp
   your mind, your sense, your thoughts
   A glance, a nod, a trace, a smile
   bitter lessons life has taught.

   I don't need words to restore or atone
   when the world demands it's due
   I only need the healing
   that comes from knowing you.

THE END
