the eleven letters

I can't seem grasp no matter how hard I try
that there are eleven letters between you and I

separated by an alphabet of mountains and seas we are too (two)

scared to try

Eleven hellos and eleven goodbyes
in the eleven letters between you and I

Alone we are too (two)

scared to try

One sentence defines you and I
we are too (two)

scared to try-

those are the eleven letters between you and I
