response

“Love is response, the answering back with your body, your mind, your words, your kisses, your touches, and your looks to the joy, delight, anguish, heartache, good fortune, curiosity, achievement, disappointment, and exaltation of the person you love. Response is the echo of one soul to another, the endlessly outwardly rippling circles that what has been felt, said, done, or left undone by your beloved has been made real to you by your response.”
Daphne Rose Kingma
