Notes About The Poem

'I Care About You'

When this 
meaningful phrase
bleed out from 
somebody's mouth
it seeps 
generously into
the mind
and heart
for perpetuity.
A phrase
so meaningful
and reassuring;
from friend
to friend,
from one lover
to another.
It translates to
"You can count on me"
A meaningful phrase
that leaves
an indelible imprint
on the heart
and mind.
