apple
1 is the loneliest number, so they say.
but with 1 you don't have to worry about 2,3 and 5.
with 1 you can only disappoint 1.
with 1 8, 12 and 6 can't hurt 1.
with 1 17 and 4 can't leave 1.
with only 1 there's no pressure.
pressure from 7, 10 and 11 pushing 1 to feel less than par.
pressure pushing and pushing and pushing 1 to feel like none.
none, no one, not a one.
so from now this 1 will only be looking out for number 1.
but when 1 gets scared.
when 1 starts to panic.
when 1 is hurting.
1 looks to 2.
because 2's got it all together.
because 2's got all the answers.
because 2's got a... no. i need no one.
i? wait I?? huh. there's no 1, that needs no one.
so I, I need you.
because you aren't just another 2.
because i don't mind worrying about you.
because i won't disappoint you.
because i will never leave or hurt you.
and the pressure? ha. the pressure is only pushing me closer to 2.
