Talking to You
by Ken HarnischYou know, talking to you
I get the sense
You wish I didnt care so much
You are, after all, so sane;
A practical mass
Someone very rooted in yourself
And its kind of embarrassing to know
Someones there to pick you up
Even when you never fall.
Well, I got news for you
I feel the same way
I twist my lips in awkwardness
Every time you tell me
That you know me well.
I mean, be real,
Who wants to be known like that?
But this is also true
Secretly, I love the fact you do.
And Secret number two:
Dont ever stop, no matter what I say.
Just as Ill never stop for you.

| Posted by Agnes Eva on 08/28/03 at 08:17 PM i know what you mean about the initial feeling of dismay when someone says they have you all figured out. glad to see this truth brought out in a poem - i haven't gotten to the part of acceptance, even secretly, as you have ;) good psychological delving into loved-one-communication |
