Knowing Eachother
Tell me more and more of yourself,
and I keep telling you of mine own.
Let life be a quest for us
for knowing eachother.
Tell me what you like and love.
Tell what you detest and abhor.
And when enough of these 'general' things is said,
do please tell me further more.
I would relish probing into
most intricate of your ideas, that
you might not otherwise have
fancied discussing of.
Be a child - every new discovery,
however little, and unimportant-seeming,
tell me, and
be sure of sound acknowledgment.
We would thus sustain
the yet-undefined stratum
of understanding;
and the thrill and comfort arising
out of it, that the most have
lost with their childhood.
Let me understand you unceasingly.
And do the same upon me, and
care not if life, for it will, flows on
knowing eachother.
