Sometimes,

I stay by people but don't speak.

For I myself do not know what to say.
What do you want me to say to you that will make you feel better?

I too do not know what that guy or girl wants.
I too do not know what anybody wants or thinks.
I have been stumped for a long time coming now.

I thought everyone generically wanted the same essence of things.
The good things only, nothing bad.

Being happy is good right?
Yet it seems I was wrong, as others may perceive being sad as something that will reap happy rewards in the long run.

If that is the case, I too cannot do anything but let go of your hand and bid you farewell on you trip downtown.

There is only so long that I can stand beside you, looking at you, and still see you standing there staring back at me doing nothing.

Right?
