We practice love between these sheets, singing from a new playbook, learning the words as we go,

Our bodies in tune so they know what they need long before we do, a perfect harmony.

We practice kindness in our conversations, generous with our words and open with our feelings,

Our minds connecting deeply, souls intertwining, hearts beating as one.

We practice listening within these walls, opening ourselves up like the petals of a flower,

Our ears receiving each other’s secrets like welcome visitors, into our home.
