When we began to assert our rights of fidelity and love, you simply said something and smiled.

This couplet captures the tender yet painful helplessness that comes with loving someone who holds all the cards. The lover finally gathers the courage to demand the rightful dues of fidelity, hoping for reassurance or commitment. Yet the beloved effortlessly disarms them—brushing aside a serious plea with a fleeting murmur and an evasive, captivating smile that silences every complaint.
