care

caring is not about words

it's about glances

about sighs and actions

it's about knowing without listening

it's about seeing without being shown

it's about knowing I'm drowning

without even seeing the water

it's about sensing my tears

while they are still in the harbour

it's about understanding my fears

without having experienced them

it's about reading all those poems

and knowing where to put them

it's about reading about clementines

and knowing mine are different

it's about reading about bookmarks

and seeing mine as something equally worthy

it's reading about oneness

and not leaving someone behind

it's about care

a heart gives

without being asked to
