sometimes you say i love you, you say it slowly and mean every word, and pray to God that he will respond.

just like sometimes you nestle in someone's arms, so you can feel the protection of his arms around you.

or you kiss him, so you feel the tenderness in the touch of his lips.

expectations? conditonal love? maybe. but every now and then, we all need a little affection.

faith and trust. the legacy of love. but how quickly it can be forgotton.
