The Value of a Word

What do you value a word at?

I'm beginning to think we have a different understanding.

I value words highly.

You don't.

At least that is my impression.

One thing we agreed on was the old saying that a picture is worth a thousand words.

That's why we took so many.

I thought we were saving.

You were spending.

I thought when you gave me your word it meant something.

It didn't.

I should have noticed how you mistreat them.

Everytime I told you how beautiful you are,

you never believed me,

but we value words differently.

What's the value of a word?
