Tete a Tete

Sounds casual and shallow
Distractinglt peripheral;
Reserved,distant and unreciprocal.

We say hello but do not talk

Never revealing what we feel,
Recerved,remote and unreal;
Hearing but never listening.

We say hello but never talk.

Hastily in a hurry
Missed unsaid woryy;
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 notb talk.

Heart felt feelings are witheld
Thoughts we screte and supress;
Avoinding real acquaintance

we say hello but do not talk
