Genuine Love and Passion

I need no diamond
I want no pearls
for you I'd abandon
the most valuable jewels
            give me companionship
            tenderness and compassion
            enhance our relationship
            with romance and passion
do not speak
any words that are empty
do not seek
to merely placate me
            I need what is true
            not what sounds good
            I want only you
            how I wish you understood
take no action
that isn't from your heart
if there is no passion
don't even bother to start
           just give me your love
           let me give you mine
           that's all I dream of
           simple and divine
