Names

All the names out there

and we have our own.

Names that seem so familiar and so distant,

yours, mine, ours.

There are so many names out there,

yet the names are the same.

It's just an arbitrary way to call you

and see you turn toward me and smile,
smile like the world was your own at that very moment,

and all would be right.

The way my name runs off your lips,

like it's the same name
you've been saying forever.

Names names names.

Your name, my name, our name.

A word. Simply felt.
