I don't get it, I don't get me and I don't get you. There is no me and there is no you, but I can reach out my hand and touch me, I can reach out my hand and touch you. I can reach out my mind and innerstand me, I can reach out my mind and overstand you. I can reach out my heart and love me, I can reach out my heart and love you

If one person likes ME out of every person that knows ME - I will be happy... If one person likes ME, out of every person that has NEVER liked ME - I will be happy !?

Quiet Messengers Robins
Quiet Messengers robins I ache for you in ways unspoken, in silent hours that feel half broken. Your voice still lingers in my mind,
