I met someone at the airport
A stranger said Hi and smiled
I tried to avoid a conversation
I was so unfriendly I did not even smile

Later when I was in the plane
The stranger's seat was  next to mine
8 hours long journey
The silence was agony

Too proud of myself to say anything
Total ignorance, pretended he wasn't there
But he must have heard my tummy growling
He smiled and offered me muffin and drink
and again He said Hello...

Now you tell me I did right or wrong
for not talking to a stranger?
