Oddly enough, I discovered something I knew existed,
and yet, even in seeking out the discovery,
I'm still searching for the right words to describe it.
Me, I know you.
Not because of the obvious,
for that which is known
in all honesty, is quite obscured.
For me, looking at you,
I see some of myself,
and yet, honesty tells me
what we have in common,
is not that common after all.
Words then, are going to sound different
for under it all, is not the foundation
you've come to believe existed.
Me, I'm part,
but not quite contained
within the parcel.
You, you are also unique.
Should I bridge this?
Do I even have a choice?
In my mind,
the answer is simple.
And yet,
how will you react?
Though the answer is obvious,
the leap is great!
Care to believe?
For aside from the truth,
how else can the pain reside?
Tears are wasted.
Wine goes untasted,
and still, you're alone.
Alone, seeking the truth in others
who fail to connect,
alone in the truth of the others
who refuse to accept.
Still,
your tears remind me of hope.
Why is that?
