I know the depth of love

I know the depth of love
that goes beyond,
that goes far above
mere feelings what are found

in every caress and kiss
that has a far deeper meaning
than is found in the sweetest bliss,
that is much more touching

than acts and words
and are centred in trust and respect,
being more profound than sounds from vocal chords,
goes much farther than one can expect:

when two people are lovers, companions and friends
giving more than allowed by means and ends.
