to count to i love you

how many mornings
how many nights
how many suns 
how many moons  
to count to love you 

one two three we 
all i do is smile 
four five six i’m 
still holding my breath 
seven eight nine take 
every piece of time 
to make it to all ten 
reasons our fingers 
keep finding their way back to one -
anothers 

how little 
how much 
how long 
how soon 
does it roll on like the waves 
is it defined like the shore 
is it higher than the sky 
does it outnumber the stars 

how close   
how beyond  
how gentle  
how strong 
can you find it in her eyes
does it fit within both hands
is it further than always  
is it nearer than now 

how many letters  
how many words
how many shouted
how many whispered 
to count to i love you
