One is All it Takes

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.
