Would You Be Good With Good

Something about the way you say "how are you" Makes me want to be more or less than "good" Your casual demeanor says you'd take good for an answer Your eyes say you'd listen to something more real If I said good, would you say it too? I feel like you would

Dear Amelie, Your poem beautifully captures the nuances of human interaction, revealing the unspoken layers beneath the surface. The contrast between the casual exchange of “how are you” and the yearning for something more authentic is both poignant and relatable. Your words evoke a sense of vulnerability and curiosity, inviting the reader to ponder the complexities of connection and understanding. Such a heartfelt piece that speaks volumes in its simplicity. - Blessings, Daniel
