people
will come up with
a fancy way
to say
they know you
but they really don't,
do they?
to some extent,
but at the end
of the day
it doesn't really
feel like it
so here's
what i'm trying
to say:
i don't know you
i wish i could
but there's no way
i could fully understand
you
what you're going through
or what your soul's
trying to say,
whether it's your
deepest desire for
s o m e o n e
to comprehend
or at least
grasp the
s l i g h t e s t
idea,
or whether
you
h o n e s t l y
believe
n o  o n e
should know
or
no one
could help
but
here's my proposal
we take it a moment
at a time
together
a certain song,
a single idea,
this one poem
use it
one gesture
one complement
one act of kindness
and slowly
but surely
we will all join hands
