The Best People Are

The best people are the ones you don’t know
Like the man down the street
The woman shoveling snow
People who comment
On what you did good
People who make you feel
Understood
Because they don’t know you
They know you the best
As far as you know
They’re better than the rest

They wont hurt you
They have nothing to say
They cant really leave you
You don’t know them enough to 
Want them to stay
