you can meet a person and spend the rest of your time together introducing yourself, talking favorites and specialties and things you don't like or understand. and sometimes you meet a person and you talk talk talk for days about philosophy and love and war and hate and bad habits. but when you meet a person, and you say hello, just once you say hello, and from that moment on you don't speak, you don't pick their brain, you just take them by the hand and share the magic that you find, and you observe how their eyes begin to show what their mind is letting them see, and in turn, you collect a memory of their soul, escaping through the eyes, because the eyes say more than words. no thoughts of response, just reflex of emotion, pure from insecurities humans own.
