Why do you always need me to be here?
Do you think I’ll leave you alone to fight?
Is it because you have something to fear?
Why do you think actions will make things right?

Actions do not express all that we feel.
Thoughts say so much more than mouths could e’er say.
Even though they’re not visible, they’re real.
Show feelings and leave expressions at bay.

Why do I need to hug you when you go?
Don’t you know there is something more than this?
Is not there more to life than we can show?
Is there something that you think you will miss?

If I do not wave to you as we part,
That does not mean you are not in my heart.

The author's comments:
Affection and love can be shown and displayed in both obvious and subtle manners. Just because we are not obvious about our feelings, that does not mean that they are not there. Sometimes, people need to dig deeper in order to see the whole picture.

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
