To You,

There are 1,013,913 words

moving in a current between my ears.

When I close my eyes to see inside myself

they spill out from my mouth

and are ejected from my fingertips.

There are 1,013,913 words

but sometimes there are only 3

Love

Hate

Fear

and in those times those words 

each grow inside me like a child.  

There are 1,013,913 words

but sometimes there are only 2

You

I

and in those times those words 

seem to be enough.

Your Friend,

A
