On reflective nights like tonight,
When my love senses yours,
I’m left bashful and afraid.
Ill equipped through distance,
To help heal any pain.
I realize, my words will never be enough,
And only my touch would do.

Thanks, Duke. Not sure about powerful words. You like those words? *hands them over* Give them to somebody. (Thanks for asking…)

Thanks. I don’t know what I’ve done to deserve you. I’ve not been kind enough to warrant such lovely support. You are the best of the best of men, Duke. My words wouldn’t know how to attack if it hadn’t been for you pushing me along. Telling me you liked my efforts when they truly weren’t worthy of such praise. You’ve been an amazing friend. And I don’t deserve you, but I’m glad you’ve stuck around. *tears* xx ♡ (I have news, but I’m still processing it…)
Happy Easter weekend, my dear.

Amazing that we writers often understand how little words can say what we need to express and that only a thoughtful touch will convey our sincerity.

I think it’s that warm hand and the gentle way in which we use it. I would never want my words to replace what I can physically do for myself, but in the end it is the words I use that must convey my affections.
