He said a thousand words

and she wanted to believe them

she wrote him ten thousand letters

and they only left him wondering

and the alphabet swirled around them

like a storm of technicolor dust

that leaves behind a scent of longing

but despite all these

it was his small selfless actions

that drew her to himself

but despite all these

it was her quiet acts of thoughtfulness

that pulled him to her side

but despite all these words

it was the deeds done in silence

that wrote the story of their love
