Simple Things…

A simple kiss does not necessarily
Mean love or affection
It may be a different meaning to you
It’s just a matter of how you perceive it

A simple touch does not have to be
Harsh or gentle to someone
It can either be caressing or punishing*
Depending on how it was done
So as the words I’ve said just now
You don’t need to trust my speech
Neither do you need to heed it
It is just a matter of how
You comprehend everything

(Author’s Note: the word with the * used to be “restraining” but the author decided that it would be more relevant to use the word “punishing” rather than “restraining”)
