a beautiful aproximation

annie sitting cross legged opposite me / with her mc chicken and diet coke / her sea blue eyes / sometimes i get overwhelmed and can’t restrain myself / i have to tell her:

“you make me so happy” i said /

“i’m surprised you use a word you can’t define” she said / “happy”/

“i wouldn’t have many words left if i had to define them all / our language is an approximation at best” i told her /

“a beautiful approximation” she reminded me…
