once you fell asleep i scoured dictionaries for a word to describe what you mean

when you awoke you caught me on the floor at 3 am

with Merriam-Webster's in my hand

and Oxford American's open face down on my leg

as i traced useless words with my fingers

and rolled them around on my tongue

"love", you whisper

"there isn't a word for everything"
