repost from 2007 prompted by Eve's contest theme
Sounds casual and shallow Distracting peripheral; Reserved,distant and unreciprocal. We say hello but do not talk Never revealing what we feel, Reserved,remote and unreal; Hearing but never listening. We say hello but never talk. Hastily in a hurry Missed unsaid worry; Intimacy stays untried. We say hello but never talk Missing meaningful content And unable to relate; Fearing to share or participate. We say hello but do not talk. Heart felt feelings are witheld Thoughts we secrete and suppress; Avoiding real acquaintance we say hello but do not talk
