    Symbolic
    I don't need a commitment
    I do not need a ring
    Nor some small piece of paper
    That really says nothing

    I do not need to hear
    "This is my girlfriend"
    Mrs, Fiancee, my better half
    Doesn't mean it will never end

    Upon your door I'll knock
    I do not need a key
    Don't bother with a special drawer
    My toothbrush I'll carry

    Just tell me what your heart
    says to you each night
    put your arms around me
    always hold me tight

    Be there when I'm frightened
    Forgive me when I'm mad
    Accept that I'm not perfect
    Bring a smile when I'm sad

    Those are the real symbols
    That your love is true
    The world never needs to know
    It's between me and you

    Great write, says so much that many would do well to heed. The ring won't hold you at night nor feed you chicken soup when you are sick. Loved it

    Very inspiring, and very touching. This was well worded, except for the part "upon your door i'll knock, i do not need a key don't bother with a special drawer my toothbrush I'll carry" This didn't make much sense to me, but other than that I really liked the poem. Keep writing.

    Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
