I know that there are those who show love by gift giving. It’s their way of showing affection and making someone feel good. I am in no way saying this isn’t a good way of showing love, but it’s a bit too materialistic for me.

I tend to show love by being there if someone needs me. Listening is such an important necessity to those who need to be heard. So I give my time and also my ears.

I show love when someone has done wrong, and although I may not agree with what they did, I am still there for them.

Gestures such as holding someone’s hand, a much needed hug or writing a poem for someone are all things that don’t cost a thing. They are some of the ways that I show love.
