It's easy to flatter with love:

To say that Emperors and Pharaoahs would have sacrificed great armies for the pleasure of a brief touch.

To say I want to get lost in the depths of your eyes and never find my way out.

To say all the treasures of nature, sky above and heaven below, pale in comparison to the radience of your skin.

But it's another thing to really show your love. During the dark times when you just need to listen and support. During the quiet times, when you just need to be there, even if there's nothing to day.

Flattery is lovely, and has its place.

But where are you when the chips are down? Or just when someone needs a hand?
