Reservation Love Song

Sherman Alexie's Reservaton Love Song is a poem that struck a chord with me. In my interpretation of this poem it seems as if the author is talking about the 'motions' of love. What is meant by that is that you may do the things that seem as if you love some one such as cooking dinner, gong to the store for them, paying for things, etc. The speaker is trying to say that is not what love really is. Love cannot be defined by actions but rather the feeling between two people.
