One word. one laugh. one look.
     is all it takes
One more step
     one more pill
One more cut
     is all it takes
Is all it takes for someone to give up.

One person. one stranger. one friend.
     can be all it takes.
One word. one smile. one hug.
     can be all it takes.
Can be all it takes to stop that person from giving up.

One is all it takes to put someone to the edge.
One is all it takes to stop that person from jumping.
I wonder* if he wonders about all the little things that make up me.
I wonder if he wonders about the sound of my voice when I sing, the look on my face when I sleep, and the twinkle that will spark in my eyes when he looks upon me.

I wonder if he wonders about the type of woman I will be.
I wonder if he wonders about the things that I value, the ones who are of importance in my eyes, and the ways that I love in a way entirely unique to me.  

I wonder if he wonders about the looks that hold the soul that is me.
I wonder if he wonders about the curve of my lips, the shape of my hands, the color of my iris, and the clothes I wear to dress the body to hold the soul that is me.

I wonder if he loves me,
Now, even before the concept of “us” has come to be.
I wonder if he wonders if I love him.
And I want him to know that I do.
And that I am waiting for him, the one who is waiting for me, and hoping for him, while hoping that he too hopes for me.

— The End —
