huh

i don't think we could
or should
really ever fully understand
everyone we meet
each other
or too many people


or truly see
where they're coming from
who they are
why they feel
and why they laugh
and what their heart beat
really
means

or else we'd be
falling in love
too many times

people are so
worth it

i dont understand
why it isnt
allowed

other than
pretending
to be worth more
or less
than someone else

"he misunderstood me"
i wonder if that was with
the expectation
that if they could
understand
it could make
a difference

but maybe even if they did
it really
wouldn't

are we the ones
who misunderstood
the ones who
misunderstood us?

or sometimes its harder
not to
understand
because knowing it wouldn't
make a difference anyway
or at least
the difference that we want to see
or be

people are
amazing

what does that mean?
