try to learn,
and know my name.
see and hear,
but don't feel my pain.
laugh with me,
and say what you can.
keep me close,
but don't let me in.
peer into my thoughts,
and tell me yours.
keep open the windows,
but lock all the doors.
enjoy the company,
and divine admiration.
kiss me goodbye,
but avoid confrontation.
