One
Language: English 
What is this number, "one"?
Without one, can there be any others?
In one, there is unity.
But can there not be two with one accord?
When I think of one, there is a special person on my mind.
Will (he/she) come into my life one day?

If so, 
how will I know the love of my life 
if people gain entrance only one by one?
