Without a word of love or appreciation

If you feel love but don't express it, how does anyone really know it's true?

--

There are those
who never have
a word of love and appreciation,
an “I love you”, or an expressive hug...

And although it is true
that there are people
who express it in other ways,
some do not express it at all.

Love that is only felt
and not expressed,
is of no use.

--

Love is not something
that should simply be felt,
but something that
should rather be shared,
let it come out of your heart,
give yourself wholeheartedly,
give joyfully, don't keep
and hold on to it without expressing it.

Do not stop saying words of love
or doing things
for those you love and love ...
because those actions
and those words
will have an effect
on their perception
of the love you have.
