Numbers Poem by alejandro bernardo

There is only 1, just one,
here who loves you
Who will always fill in the gap
between your fingers
There is only 1 here who
will cry with you when you’re in pain
There is only 1 here who
will carry you if you fall
There is only 1 here
who will bridge the vastness for you
There is only 1 here
who will turn your darkest nights into bright days
There is only 1 here
who will reach the deepest earth
There is only 1 here
who will be your armor when there is storm
There is only 1 here
who will be your crying shoulder
There is only 1 here
who will be the heartbeat of your life
Things may be numbered,
but you cannot count
the number of times
I’m gonna be here for you.
