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
Sounds casual and shallow
Distractingly 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 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 not talk.
Heart felt feelings are witheld
Thoughts we secrete and supress;
Avoinding real acquaintance
we say hello but do not talk
inspired by Lewis contest
Sounds casual and shallow
Distracting the peripheral;
Reserved,distant and unreciprocal.
We say hello but do not talk
Never revealing what we feel,
Recserved,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 notb talk.
Heart felt feelings are witheld
Thoughts we screte and suppress;
Avoinding real acquaintance
we say hello but do not talk
Sounds casual and shallow
Distractinglt peripheral;

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
