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
