Hi

Hi. One word Two letters And a universal introduction, Hi, Who knew such a simple word In the world’s dictionary Could be so, Hard To actually Speak out loud, Hi Hola Bonjour Konnichiwa Ni hao I could probably List 20 different ways To say hi, It doesn’t matter What language the word is in Because, it is still the worlds Most simple collection of letters But, At the same time So fricken hard to say, I want to be able to Say hi But, What happens after that Stick with me here, ok I walk up to someone I don't know, I say hi Maybe I’ll even smile I’m really trying here, ok They look up at me Confused Because I’m a stranger Saying hi, They smile And say hi back But, instead of just saying Hi They are saying Hi? Which are two completely different Words, One is inviting The other is saying who the hell are you And what do you want, Now what, What am I supposed to say after that How’s the weather? I like your… Socks I don't know, So as much as I want to say That simple word I can’t, because What do I do after, How do I make a connection With someone that Seems cool I don’t know I don't know, anything. All I know is how to say Hi Hola Bonjour Konnichiwa Ni hao So as simple as that word may be, It is the most complicated Word To me
