A Mere Name.

A name
is all it takes
to make a heart skip a beat.
A name
is all it takes
to make a heart beat wildly.
A name
is all it takes
to provoke emotions.
Happiness. Sadness.
Jealousy. Compassion.
All controlled by a name.
The mere utterance of a name
can cause pain and suffering,
or delight and laughter.
Everyone has their own.
Everyone has someone
whose name
makes them feel
all of these emotions
and feelings,
all at once,
or at different times.
Either way,
everyone has a name.
