what if

what if we understand each other more by just looking at each other’s eyes or by noticing how we act differently than the usual or by recognizing which smiles are forced or by hearing nothing when we ask questions that don’t matter.

what if it’s more than the cup of coffees that people want when they decide to see each other what if it’s assurance that everyone is alone, and not just you that everyone is just looking for someone to make them forget about the things that hurt them only to remember when they’re alone again

what if we understand each other more than the things we say
